Meanwhile, tomorrow’s first presidential debate is up in the air after McCain said he would suspend his campaign to focus on the economic crisis. In what Democrats are calling a transparent political stunt, McCain said the first debate should be delayed.

Sen. John McCain: “It’s time for both parties to come together to solve this problem. We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved. I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the Commission on Presidential Debates to delay Friday night’s debate until we have taken action to address this crisis.”

Campaigning in Florida, Obama said he would reject McCain’s plea to delay the debate.

Sen. Barack Obama: “It is going to be part of the President’s job to deal with more than one thing at once. I think there’s no reason why we can’t be constructive in helping to solve this problem and also tell the American people what we believe and where we stand and where we want to take the country.”
