McCain's Political Theater?
| Wed, 09-24-2008 - 3:39pm |
I think McCain's "suspension" of his campaign to go to DC and sit around while Congress hammers out a bailout plan is just political theater. I am not sure that McCain's presence is required at all. He will need to vote on a bill either way, but he can fly in, vote and be back on the trail. Also, I think postponing the debate is another political stunt. You know, "country first." Our country's representatives cannot work on this program without McCain and his campaign lobbyists sitting there sounds a bit ridiculous. I think this political theater will play well to the base, but I think it makes McCain look like he cannot multi-task well enough to campaign then go vote on a bill.

Of course, and had Obama done it first, McCain would be the one blasted for not taking his senatorial duties seriously.

ITA.
We all know that neither McCain nor Obama is an expert when it comes to dealing with this mess. There's no reason they have to be involved in the nitty gritty of it. McCain's just trying to do something to compensate for his past statement that our economy is "fundamentally sound" (OOPS!). You're right--it's a show.

Well, I guess that explains why McCain has to be in DC today and has to postpone the debate. Palin needs more time to prepare--she won't be ready by October 2nd.

I honestly don' t know what the big deal is in delaying the debate a few days.
