McCain Keeps Us Guessing
In the fury of tornado-strength news cycles that allow so little reflection, let's not forget that the Republican nominee went nuts last week.

McCain made an agreement to show up at this debate, and he can't even honor that.

It is time to confront an awkward but profound question: whether in picking Palin as his running mate, McCain has committed -- by his own professed standards of duty and honor -- a singularly unpatriotic act.

Neither McCain nor Obama are the prime movers in the Senate on the issue of a bailout. Their job is to fight for the presidency, and it's one that Obama is winning right now.

McCain's appeal is a cynical move based on a genuine economic crisis. Not the economic crisis in Washington -- the financial crisis is in McCain's campaign.

You'd think after seventy-two years on this planet, John McCain would have had time to come up with a better excuse to avoid the debate he's obviously not ready for.

Unfortunately, insurgents in Iraq don't stop shooting at us, or setting IEDs, because our Commander in Chief needs a breather to figure out Wall Street.

The vice-presidential nominees can suspend their campaigns instead. Biden and Palin, those best, carefully-chosen surrogates, presidents-in-waiting, can stand in for McCain and Obama.

If this gambit by McCain doesn't get him the boost in the polls he desperately needs, what's next? Will he attempt to postpone the election?

"As of today, I am officially bailing out of the debate," Sen. McCain told reporters in Washington today. "And I invite Sen. Obama to join me in this bailout effort."

McCain seems willing to pull these "let's not be partisan" moments when it is convenient. Does this show that McCain can't handle dealing with more than one issue, one crisis at a time?
