Jon Soltz at vetvoice.com had a great post this evening on the topic of McCain's timeout.
Wow. Troops would sure love that luxury.

"Our Troops Don't Get a Time-Out for a Financial Crisis"
Unfortunately, though, 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.

If troops need to multi-task without a break, is it so wrong that we demand that a potential President-in-waiting prove that he can manage a financial crisis, and still address crises around the world for 90 minutes? And, if a potential President-to-be can't manage that, is it wrong to think that maybe he ought not just suspend a debate and the campaign, but move aside and get out of the race?
<3 Jon Soltz!
