NEW YORK (AP) - Republican John McCain says he's directing his
staff to work with Barack Obama's campaign and the debate
commission to delay Friday's debate because of the economic crisis.
In a statement, McCain says he will stop campaigning after
addressing former President Bill Clinton's Global Initiative
session on Thursday and return to Washington to focus on the
nation's financial problems.
McCain also said he wants President Bush to convene a leadership
meeting in Washington. Both he and Obama would attend the session.
