McCain suspends campaign for 'historic' crisis
Political move, or actual concern for the economy????? I don't see him productively helping "fix" the economy on a Friday night personally.
If it is a political move, it is one of the slickest I've seen in a while. Repubs often don't do well in times of economic worry, but this makes it look like he is being proactive and it makes Obama (at least that's what the pundits will drill into us) look bad if he wants to go ahead with the debate.
