Doing His Job

Reader JF has a point with this:

"Barrack Obama and John McCain haven't been elected yet, and until November 4th they are still United States Senators...I just think it's funny that the media has to portray this as a political stunt when in reality, John McCain was just doing his job."

The problem is that McCain didn't just quit the bickering to go do his job. He announced that he was "suspending" his campaign and put out talking points about that suspension. Then, he had surrogates on TV today attacking Obama. He still had commercials running, which is understandable, since renegging on ad buys across the country is really hard. If he had just come to DC to work, that would be fine ... it's the ostentation of "suspending" the campaign and asking for the canceling of the debate that makes it tough for me to swallow.
