McCain to suspend campaign & wants to postpone debate...

By William Rabbe on 09/24/2008

McCain takes the high ground and in the process, sets a trap for Obama:

McCain says will suspend campaign to return to Washingon Thursday to help with bailout negotiations, asks that Friday debate with Obama be postponed so bailout negotiations can continue

If Obama agrees, he risks being out-shadowed by McCain in the Senate, who took the initiative to get back to DC. If Obama disagrees, he risks looking like a political opportunist, who would rather score points at the debate, than make a difference as a Senator.

The camp is already getting pushback on the blogosphere -- so, what motivates McCain? Genuine concern or is this a political stunt? Maybe there will be a compromise: proceed with the debate, but discuss economic issues, rather than foreign policy?
