Johnny Mac is winded already, and needed to call his first time out. 6 weeks to go, and he only has 2 more to use. He better pay attention to clock management.

“Part of the president’s job is to deal with more than one thing at once. In my mind it’s more important than ever.” Ouch. Looks like McCain tried a hail mary and it isn't looking so hot. He tried to take the initiative away from Obama with this stunt so he could bitch slap him later and Obama got in a slap of his own. I check intrade every morning. Obama was at 54+ this AM before McCain's hail mary pass. Just out of curiousity I checked it again tonite. Tonite, Obama is up almost two points to 56+. I have been checking intrade every day. I have never seen that big a jump in one day. I have to assume that the big jump from AM to PM was due to McCain's silly suspension of his campaign. Everyone is seeing through his attempt to politicize the bailout.
