McCain, Obama headed to Washington for bailout talks
- trickjarrett 18y agoIf it's for real, I respect him for the decision. But the truth is that he's leading in most polls and so his suspending the campaign will force Obama to do so as well and thus lessen the time for Obama to campaign to garner more voters.
- newmediaclay 18y agoLatest polls actually show Obama with a pretty good lead after last weekend. The main reason for that is because Economy has moved up as the pivotal issue and Obama polls better when it comes to that issue. So, I think he's doing this to generate some more credibility on the economy and shrink Obama's overall lead by appearing more concerned about the economy. McCain is hoping this concern will translate into becoming more respected in the economic arena, thus leading to better polling.
- tsbardella 18y agoThat sounded like you were explaining some code snippet..
- andreyf 18y agoIf it's for real... As if McCain/Obama can take a breath right now without considering the implications on the election...
- trickjarrett 18y agoJust giving him the benefit of the doubt.

- trezor 18y agoGood to see that McCain, which publicly has admitted he knows next to nothing about economy, now is going to fix it. Time to exchange those dollars for pesos before it's too late.
- huherto 18y agohaha, I've got a bunch of pesos if anyone is interested.(I'm in Mexico) Seriously, you guys (the U.S.) are going to be fine. You've got great people, great land. It may just get rough for a while.
