I don’t agree with McCain’s proposal to the Obama Campaign to suspend campaign work to focus on the government’s bailout catastrophe. We need to hear from our nominees and we need to hear what they think about the government’s bailout plan and many other issues on the table. I do believe Obama and McCain need to be present in Washington for any and all votes or discussion that may be scheduled regarding the bailout catastrophe. Why can’t they do both? Many average American citizens multi-task everyday. Just ask some CEO soccer moms and dads who may be attending a meeting in New York by day and back in Alabama for their kids little league game by daybreak. Can’t our “nominees to be” campaign in one city on one day and travel back to DC for a hearing the next day? We are not expecting any more of you than we expect of ourselves every day of the week.

The show must go on. The debate must proceed. As Obama said earlier, we can’t fall for McCain’s “okedoke”. Momentum is everything and McCain knows it. Obama is leading in the polls right now and if our campaign agrees to put the breaks on the train that’s obviously rolling in our favor, then the Obama Campaign could lose its momentum and slow down losing precious votes. We have to do both, focus on the bailout catastrophe and keep the campaign train rolling. If McCain is too old to handle it then he should give up the race – it is not for the weak. Be there or be square!!
