Can John McCain Chew Gum And Work On The Mortgage Crisis At The Same Time?

Arizona Senator and Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, has blind sided his Democratic rival, Illinois Senator Barak Obama, by first agreeing in a personal phone call between the two to issue a joint statement on the Wall Street Crisis, then appearing on television before any statement was agreed to, let alone issued, to say he 'suspending' his campaign, skipping the important first debate between the candidates in Mississippi and heading instead for Washington DC to get some face time during the Senate Hearings. The fact that the Arizona Senator seems to be trying to make political hay out the crisis doesn't seem to be up for debate.
