Will McCain resuspend his campaign to deal with the credit crisis?
Settled as No
Last week John McCain suspended his campaign for president to head to Washington and attempt to assist with credit crisis bailout talks. He then unsuspended it and took part in Friday's debate, despite no resolution on the bailout plan being reached.
Many are calling this political theatrics. Now the House of Representatives has rejected the bailout plan, surely the logical conclusion for McCain (if his conviction is genuine) is to resuspend his campaign to participate in the work required to reach an agreement and get the bill, in some form, passed.
Will he resuspend his campaign at any time before November 4th citing the credit crisis as the primary reason?
McCain made no statement after the bill failed and some are calling for him to resuspend his campaign to help.
