Chalk it up to whatever you like, but McCain has gone from “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” to “we have to suspend the campaign and delay the debates in order to deal with the greatest economic crisis since WWII” in about a week. That raises serious questions about whether this is a genuine act of leadership or a cynical political ploy designed to help his <A href="http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5g_-xBvXxv8hQqVegCWbh-eikamEw">sagging poll numbers</A> and distract attention from a few <A href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/24/laura-bush-palin-lacks-fo_n_128965.html">damaging</A> <A href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/24/palin-says-another-great-_n_128964.html">stories</A> <A href="http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/24/blockbuster-mccain-campaign-manager-took-freddie-money-up-until-last-month/">starting to develop</A>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/24/mccain-suspends-campaign-wants-to-delay-fridays-debate-until-bailout-bill-is-passed/">This must be a VERY important crisis if it requires the full, undivided attention of a Senator who has<A href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=300071&tab=votes"> missed 230 out of 286 votes since Q4-2007</A>.
