McCain Suspends Campaign to Help Ailing Economy
I think it is funny that McCain has drawn the connection between suspending his campaign and helping the economy. If he makes the suspension permanent, should we be looking forward to great economic improvements!? I think so.

1. Is he giving back all the corporate dough he and the Repos collected?

2. So he's suspending his campaign to help with something that, by his own admission,...
...he doesn't understand? How is being ignorant going to help anything? Is he using some kind of Bizarroworld logic that says, "well, if all the experts caused this mess, it will take someone who knows nothing at all about the subject to sort it out"?

4. My point was
it sounds like McCain is admitting that his candidacy is bad for the economy. If suspending the campaign is good for the economy, then not suspending the campaign is bad for the economy. If he wants to really help the economy he should just concede and then things will get better.

7. Sorry, I missed that, but you're right.
Yes, that does indeed seem to be his point. For once, he and I are in complete agreement. ;)

3. Did Freddie Mac's checks bounce?
and "ailing economy"?! I thought he said it was "whinning" and only "psychological."

5. what he should do is suspend his campaign and announce he's voting for Obama.
