McCain Broke His Focus on the Economy to Meet with an Aristocrat

Ben Smith reports.

The McCain campaign's new urgency about the financial crisis didn't entirely clear his schedule this morning.

My colleague Amie Parnes reports that he made it to his scheduled morning meeting with Lady Lynn de Rothschild, a Clinton backer who recently came out in support of him.

All while Obama was waiting by the phone for a returned call.

It's not that McCain was lying about his concern for the economy, that's just what Republicans do.  It's the lack of self-awareness in doing so.  I mean, at least the Bushies understood the norms of the liberal democratic state they were trying to undermine.

Incidentally, North Korea is restarting its nuclear program, glad McCain wants to cancel the foreign policy debate.

Don't just meet with a rich person--meet with a cartoonishly-named rich person.

Obama's best out at this point: (0.00 / 0)
Follow Chris's two-month-old advice and debate Barr and Nader.  I hate to say it, but Nader's right: the polling confirms that both candidates now take more votes from McCain than from Obama.  Obama could use the event to raise their profiles while reconstructing the Reagan-Anderson debate.

He can't do more than one thing at once (0.00 / 0)
So he was not worrying about the economy while meeting with her.  He resumed worrying about it after their meeting.

And can't he return to DC w/o "suspending" his campaign.

Talk about a DRAMA QUEEN!

Can someone please photoshop the pic of him w/ his $5k makeup artist w/ that Drama Queen title?  I mean, give me a break.
