McCain Suspends Campaign To Deal With Economy

Details at Hot Air; politically, it seems like an interesting move, somewhat reminiscent of this earlier time out. But how will voters — not to mention the junior senator from Illinois — respond?

Update: Well, that was fast:

However a senior Obama campaign official said Obama “intends to debate. The debate is on.”

An Obama campaign official said the Democratic presidential candidate called McCain this morning to suggest a joint statement of principles.

McCain called back this afternoon and suggested returning to Washington.

Obama is willing to return to Washington “if it would be helpful.” But Obama intends to debate on Friday, an official said.

And thus McCain’s next YouTube ad writes itself.
