Suspension of Disbelief
John McCain says that he is suspending his campaign to help negotiate a bailout of American financial institutions.
McCain is not on the Senate Banking Committee, the members of which one might expect would be doing the heavy lifting in the Senate.
Moreover, in September 1944, when Nazi troops were desperately attacking Allied positions in the Battle of the Bulge, Franklin Roosevelt managed not to suspend his campaign, even though his administration was fighting the biggest threat ever to democratic forms of government.
Good luck with convincing anyone that the suspension is somehow necessary, Senator.
