"After receiving a call from the McCain campaign canceling an appearance on tonight's Late Night with David Letterman, it was discovered that McCain stopped down the street to be interviewed by CBS' Katie Couric rather than rushing back to Washington to work on the proposed Wall Street bailout, as Letterman had been told.
"Hey Senator," Letterman mocked in front of live video of the interview, "can I give you a ride home?"
Letterman had earlier expressed suspicion at McCain's move to suspend his campaign. "This doesn't smell right," he said. "This isn't the way a tested hero behaves."
"I think someone's putting something in his Metamucil...He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second-string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"
"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough?" Letterman added. "Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!""

>>So?
uh, no.
The point is that Letterman has always been friendly to McCain and has had him on his show a number of times.

They don't call me "Ms excitement" for nothing. I not a mind reader. Because you used the term "campaign" in the beginning of the sentence and didn't clarify who the word "nobody" referred to, it would be the natural conclusion that you are still talking about the campaign. Otherwise, if it's two different thoughts, then it is to different sentences.
Okay then,
Short answer?NO -- (video link, transcript below):
Go ahead, read that last sentence again: McCain has not read the Paulson plan yet. Step back and think about that for a moment. This plan is no Patriot Act. It's three pages long. It's been out for days. If this were a crisis which bore suspending all campaigning on the part of BOTH candidates, wouldn't you think Mr. Straight-Talk would have at least bothered to glance at the damn thing by now?
Untrue.
McCain proposed town hall-style meetings - of his own design - and Obama declined. He has never suggested or even hinted that the traditional format of Presidential debates would be something he'd try to avoid.
So? Why does that mean he should get them? Or that Obama is "chicken" if he agrees to the traditional three-debate of previous Presidential elections?
Careful how you answer, in light of McCain being the one "cutting and running" right now (especially in light of the fact that a deal seems to have been reached even before McCain got his high, white horse to Washington).
Apparently, the mix-up occurred because the pony-express still hasn't delivered the letter from Lawrence's fan club containing the sad news yet.
