I am copying this from an email Rebecca (sister) sent me after getting it from Keith (brother-in-law):

Have you turned on a TV or gone to an internet news site? Senator McCain has decided that he will not participate in any presidential debates (especially the one happening this weekend) until Congress gets off their arse and pass some kind of bailout plan into action. In essence, John McCain is showing his stripes [...]
