Stunt of the Day by John McCain

Sep
24

Talk about presumption: McCain's wants to "suspend the campaign" so he and Obama can deal with the crisis on Wall Street. Huh? Who the hell does he think he is?

Unstable/Unable '08 Total snoozer. Even as someone in the opposition, I'm completely dissatisfied.

It seemed like a chore -- something he had to get through rather than a pivotal moment in the campaign to elect the next president of the United States.
