John McCain suspends campaign to 'work on the economy', asks Obama to do likewise...

The most desperate election stunt since William Hague's baseball camp this one. I think I now agree with Arnold Schwarzenegger that most American politicians are 'girlie men' these days. After all, during the 1944 election campaign, FDR had tiny little things like the Battle of Normandy, Invasion of Guam and the largest naval battle in history to worry about, but didn't feel the need to ask Thomas Dewey to suspend his campaign.

Let's see a party in government screws up the economy, and in the middle of an election campaign they're likely to lose, their lead candidate asks the opposition to stop campaigning to get them out... er, and this is the bloke who wants to teach the Iraqis about democracy?
