When the Going Gets Tough

So, Obama calls McCain this morning about putting out a bipartisan statement re: basic principles necessary to the bail-out pact.

McCain hangs up phone and wonders, "Dang, that was a pretty good idea. How can I do him one better?"

"I know! Suspend the campaign?! That will look ballsy!"

He calls on Obama to do the same, but, he does it in the media vs. in a man-to-man talk.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going? Freakin' cynical ploy.

I liked what BHO said about, "Now more than ever, the American people need to hear from the candidates."

How about changing the debate theme from Foreign Policy (McCain's supposed strength) to the Economy (now a Dem stronghold, ironically)?

NFW, right, McCain?

Most folks agree, though, that the campaigns should roll on, AND that a refocus to the financial crisis is a worthy idea.
