Don't you hate it when someone lies and gets rewarded?
John McCain claimed he was suspending his campaign until the financial crisis is over. When I turned on the TV this afternoon, it was all over the news about the risk he was taking; the internet pundits all say what a bold move on his part. Apparently the daily tracking polls show Americans approve of this "bold step." But again he's lying through his teeth. His people were making the rounds on cable news channels. The Huffington Post called 15 McCain offices around the country, EVERY ONE OF THEM was open for business. His TV ads are still running across the country. Apparently the media is going to let him get away with this. Again, biggest liar wins.
You know, of course, that this is not the first time he's ditched a debate because he didn't think he'd do well? In 2000 he withdrew from a debate with Bush in CA. Under pressure, he finally agreed to debate via video link. It was a disaster for him. So this withdrawal from the debate is not because of any financial crisis: it's a political ploy that he's used before.
