Article: “For McCain, Days of Chaos, Improvisation and Drama”
Writer: Michael D Shear

In the past week, Senator John McCain has faced more confusion and uncertainty then in the time of the rest of his campaign combined. When the $700 billion bailout plan was first introduced, it caused chaos and a huge backlash for the plan’s supporters from citizens that did not want to put our country into that massive amount of debt. McCain came to the conclusion that his current post of senator should come before his presidential campaign. He decided that the best idea would be to potentially drop out of the debate between himself and Senator Obama scheduled for Friday night. On the Wednesday and Thursday following the debates, McCain spent his time in Washington D.C. in an effort to help solve the financial crisis
To me, McCain seemed riled up during the debate, which I suppose worked to his benefit as it made the points in his arguments stronger. I believe that McCain made the right choice in staying in D.C. to discuss the financial crisis that our country is going through. He chose to put his efforts into helping the citizens in their state of need then to help himself win the candidacy to help them eventually, as Obama did. He put his position of senator first and knew his responsibility to those who had elected him into that coveted spot. Kudos McCain, well done.

Truer words were never spoken and I think that McCain made the right choice in returning to the Senate to do the job the people had elected him to do, not the job he wishes to do.
In retrospect, it did hurt McCain in returning to D.C. because the Obama campaign seized upon the occasion to try and point out some weakness and unwillingness to debate in John.
But this is just my opinion.
