John McCain's decision to suspend his campaign in order to focus on the ongoing debate and negotiations over the Paulson bailout package is -- like all things -- getting roundly mocked on Twitter, maybe because just a few days ago, the fundamentals of our economy had tweeted McCain, saying they were strong.
