Sounds to me McCain is putting the Country first and not the Campaign. And this is not a first for McCain. I don't always agree with what he does but Duty, Honor, Country have FAR more weight with him than just about ANY of the other blowhards in a 50 mile radius of the Washington Mall

Bottom line it needs to get done. I think we are better off with the R word than the D word (and I'm not talkin' Repub -v- Demo)..

Of Course, if Obama is needed, they'll just call him or something.
I used to agree with the duty and honor, but the McCain I've seen the past 6 months is a robot driven by political operatives.

The reporting has been consistent that there has been a solid bi-partisan discussion going on all week and that legislation is getting close. Like I mentioned, the biggest opposition seems to be from the GOP. I don't see how McCain really helps here.
