ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and Rick Klein report: Sen. John McCain on Wednesday said he would “suspend” his presidential campaign to come to Washington to help negotiate a financial bailout bill, a dramatic move designed to seize a powerful issue.

However a senior Obama campaign official said Obama "intends to debate."

"The debate is on," a senior Obama campaign official told ABC News.

McCain said he called on the Commission on Presidential Debates to postpone the debate scheduled for Friday in Mississippi, to ensure quick congressional action.

“I have spoken to Senator Obama and informed him of my decision and have asked him to join me,” McCain planned to say in New York City, according to advance excerpts released by his campaign. “I am calling on the president to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.”

1. damn right, he should show up...

and they should show the empty podium every time Mcsame would have had a rebuttal or answer...

Obama can just smile and say, " I think it is more important to TALK to the American people, that's why I am here, showing up for you.."

Show up for Change!
there's a new mantra...
If you want solutions, you get them by EXCHANGING views, not by CLOSED DOOR politics.
