Well, McCain really has made a mess of this election today. He decided to go to Washington DC to work with the Congress and President and Treasury to wrap a deal to help stave off a fiscal nightmare for the country. In doing so, he has suspended his campaign - all ads, fundraising, and debate scheduled for this Friday.
Was it the right move? It was classic McCain, I give him that. He feels this is the RIGHT decision. I respect that. You have to respect that he feels it is THAT serious for him and the country. The flat out stupid statements that it was a 'political' maneuver; he wasn't prepared for the debates, or he was trailing in the polls, just amaze me. If anything, this could really hurt him with the election, may even cost him it. People who hate him, will attack him, saying he can't multi-task. Those who love him will say it was political courage.
I am in the middle. I respect him for the bold move, but I think he shot himself in the foot. The media will SAVAGE him. Will it work? Time will tell. McCain was proved right by basically standing ALONG supporting the surge, and we know how that is working today.
Is there enough time to turn it around? We shall see.
But, if this fiscal crisis is as important as they are saying, and predicting a DEPRESSION...shouldn't our elected officials be there in Washington DC working to find an answer? Doesn't Obama making 'speeches' and campaign ads while we are all on the brink of economic destruction look out of touch?
I just don't know....but we have really hit a crazy time in our nation's history. We could go either way. At this time, do you want someone like McCain or Obama? For me, the answer is clear....but for those who don't follow these events as closely, I think we know which way they are leaning.
