I thought this was interesting, per Politico:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: ...it would not be helpful at this time to have [McCain and Obama] come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about the future of our nation’s economy. If that changes, we will call upon them. We need leadership; not a campaign photo op.

Actually Reid yesterday said that if McCain didn't back the bailout, no Dems would either. He's going back and forth b/c he didn't see McCain's move coming.

I love it when people have selective memory -- McCain's asked Obama to debate him for MONTHS. To have join town hall's, etc., but Obama ignored the request.

I daresay after watching Obama go down at the Saddleback forum we saw why he ignored the request -- if it's not a speech, he fumbles and makes mistakes.

He's merely a rehearsed record of the Democratic Party, which by all means you may consider fine. But the man (Obama) hardly has any substance to him whatsoever. Does he even make decisions for himself (ie: Biden)...??
