Now McCain Is Phoning It In

More proof that John McCain's oh-so-bold decision to "suspend" his campaign was a nothing but a cheap, political stunt:
John McCain is staying in Washington this weekend to keep working on the bailout legislation. He will not be visiting Capital Hill, however, preferring to work out of his campaign office.
“He can effectively do what he needs to do by phone,'' said senior adviser Mark Salter.
This must be driving McCain insane. His cheesy "stop the debates" ploy didn't work and now he's stuck in Washington until a deal is reached. And what was Obama doing?
Today, as John McCain sat in his condominium in Arlington, Senator Obama spoke directly with more than 20,000 voters in North Carolina as well as Congressman Barney Frank, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Senator Harry Reid to discuss on-going negotiations.
Update: From mr crabby:
Perhaps he is hoping that the view of the Capitol from his Arlington condo will make him an expert on the bailout and other economic matters.
Hilarious! Obama should use that line.
