McCain suspends presidential campaign
Republican presidential candidate John McCain's decision to suspend his campaign to return to Washington and work on the financial crisis is an extremely unusual move, according to UW-Whitewater political science professor emeritus John Kozlowics. Kozlowics says it's a highly dramatic move, but we have to realize these are highly unusual times during a presidential campaign. He says McCain is attempting to establish that he can act as a leader and reach across the aisle.
Kozlowics says while suspending that part of the campaign, where they're going around the country, they'll actually both be campaigning in Washington. The Obama campaign will have to make a decision because Senator Biden would also return to Washington, which leaves one Republican campaigning outside of Washington.
Kozlowics says the candidates could easily go ahead with that, go to Washington. He says there are other people on major committees who will be writing the bill, but Obama and McCain would be there as representatives of the future of their parties.
However, Kozlowics says there's no reason the presidential debates should be delayed. He believes both McCain and Obama could work in Washington, and also debate.
