in ke9v’s latest masterful observation, jeff brings to light something the average voter may not have taken the time to notice.  his post (<—linked here) is repeated here in full from his site ke9v.net :

A little over a week ago, in the immediate aftermath of the Dow tanking some 500 points in a single day, John McCain said, “the fundamentals of our economy are sound”. Yesterday, the Senator decided things were so freaking bad that he needed to suspend his campaign, cancel his first debate with Obama, and rush back to Washington to save America.

Given that he hasn’t been in Washington to vote for any legislation since April, he may need the help of a GPS to find it.

At first I thought this was just a political stunt; a hack attempt to make McCain seem more presidential. It may have that effect with the deluded, but I think the real motive might be revealed here:

McCain supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there’s no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.

So I suppose the thinking here is to put “country first” by bailing out of the first debate and rushing off to Washington to feign the saving of the nation, while at the same time, saving Sarah Palin from having to debate Joe Biden, which if you have seen either of her two televised interviews, might just help save the McCain campaign from looking any dumber than it already does.

That’s a lot of saving in one slippery as snot slick political move!

i am very glad someone else saw what i saw.  and in the order observed.  its huge.  and i guarantee it won’t be reported on in the way jeff has. what is mccain going to do that he has not already tried to do?  what can obama do?  nothing much.  the crooks that perpetrated this fraud will not hang for their crimes.  and you and i will be left holding the bag, again.

the sad part of all of this is the democrats could have used clinton to counter palin.  there is no comparison between palin and clinton in terms of ability.  biden is fine, but he won’t win you the south – he is no lbj. 

i think we are headed for another 4 years of continued downturn and bad tidings.
