Early this afternoon, McCain pledged to pause his campaigning in order to return to Washington and compose a bailout package for the current economic emergency. Included in the statement, McCain sought to postpone the debate that is supposed to take place on Friday regarding foreign policy, although the Obama team did not agree to that and has issued a statement saying that "The debate is on," according to ABC News.

What do you think the general reaction will be to this? I think that what Rahm Emanuel said, that "we can handle both," is smart because I would expect a President to handle both an economic and international crisis simultaneously, if the situation ever arose. If Obama had reacted differently and agreed with McCain, would this be a battle won for the McCain camp?
