McCain suspends campaign to go back to DC to work on bailout

[pbear19]

Per Politico (JMart's blog) McCain and Obama will be doing interviews with the three major networks tonight.

It will be interesting to see the reaction if McCain does cancel the debate, given that he beleives he has time to do interviews.

I read a comment by a Dem somewhere (maybe in this thread?) about how other presidential debates in the past have been held during greater crises (one during WWII, one I think that involved Lincoln maybe). Now I cannot find it. Was it somewhere on GC, or has anyone else seen it? I thought it was interesting to see that candidates have not cancelled debates in the past in the midst of big(er?) crises.

Thank you!! I knew it was right in front of my face, but still couldn't find it. Boss-lady hasn't been in all day and I have nothing to do, so I've been on about 50 different political sites.

I wonder if a debate has ever been cancelled?
