Details of today’s maverickyness here.
The suspension begins after he speaks to Mr. Bill’s foundation conference on Thursday. Not today or tomorrow, while there are real negotiations ongoing to craft the bill. He wants to be around Friday when there is the possibility of a vote.
He is calling on Obama to suspend too — but I suspect that Obama can accomplish an appearance in DC to vote on a bill and do his debate and a few other things in a single day. But I guess McCain’s multi-tasking days are behind him. But shouldn’t you be able to keep a few balls in the air if you are President of the United States?
I’m agnostic on whether Obama agrees to this or not — I do think that if he agrees he should condition it on McCain paying all of the costs of the delay himself and see how far this goes.
