McCain's Political Theater?

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.

I won't be glad if McCain kicks butt in the debate, but I fully expect that he will.

McCain wasn't there when this "agreement in principle" (means nobody signed on the dotted line) was made but other Republicans were.

Wow, well, if that were true, that would be quite a sly move on the demos part, lol, albeit kind of a desperate one, too.
