McCain makes new, dramatic move on economy

Sen. John McCain asked this afternoon for a delay in Friday's presidential debate so he can go back to Washington, D.C., to build a consensus on how to address the nation's economic future against the backdrop of Wall Street troubles.

The move is a dramatic and needed one. And it should be a note of assurance to every citizen that perhaps something other than the current bailout plan will finally be considered by Congress. McCain also will suspend his campaigning after an address tomorrow before the Clinton Global Initiativve.

The Obama campaign has not responded to McCain's request to delay the debate which is supposed to address foreign policy. Obama is in Tampa Bay preparing for the debate.

His response will tell voters what kind of leader he will be.
