Actually, Obama's reasoning for continuing the campaign and debate seem to me to be spot on...These two simplet....err candidates are competing to be in charge of the mess left by the current administration and now more than ever we the people need to hear what they plan on doing to try and correct the sinking ship.

McCain acting like riding back to Washington and working on this full time will make any difference whatsoever is a bit silly in my opinion. Perhaps if McCain had been in Washington and voted on bills (no vote since April on anything) or Obama as well (no vote on anything since July) things might have been different.

Then again, you would think that somebody that aspires to the Presidency should be able to multi-task.
