It appears that McCain's gambit of forestalling the campaign and debates has no historical precedent--not during the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Great Depression, or World War II. The claim that the present financial problems necessitate the suspension of the campaign when these far more emergent past circumstances did not is without merit. But I suppose when McCain sizes up the past week or so, what with his plummeting poll numbers, his mute running mate's continued avoidance of the press, the emerging details of his campaign manager's Fannie Mae connections, etc., circumstances around McCain camp HQ must take on the feel of the cataclysmic.
p.s. No wonder he wants to make it all go away. Wow. It just doesn't get much more painful than that.
