What amazes me is that not long ago McCain proclaimed that the fundamentals of the economy are strong...and now the economy is in such peril that it is necessary to suspend presidential campaigns to return to Washington "to fix it." Well, I don't think that the guy, who saw a strong economy weeks ago, is the guy, who is needed to fix it.

Postponing debates and suspening presidential campaigns in late September are unprecedented...unless you're a Libertarian or in the Green Party maybe. The timing is curious too. Obama just had a sudden favorable shift in the polls, the largest of this election, and stopping the campaigns would take some of the wind out of the sails.
