Sen. Obama's Next Move
Here is a suggestion for what the Obama campaign might do to respond to the McCain campaign's very political attempt to take advantage of Sen. Obama's offer to release a joint statement on the financial crisis: It's Commercial Time.
Obama needs to release a commercial that will just be him talking to the American people explaining why 1) He reached out to McCain first 2) Why issueing a joint statement on the financial crisis is not the same thing as suspending the campaign 3) Why he thinks the campaign and the debates should stay on schedule.
The commercial would be designed primarily for Internet release, knowing that it will be watched and that it will be used (and so will get more air time) by news organizations. However, the commercial could also run in battleground states.
The really important things are that the commercial be 1) a personal talk from Sen. Obama demonstrating his leadership on this matter and 2) that it happen NOW, as in before the night is over.

Never mind. This thing is so exploding in McCain's face that no further action by Obama is necessary. Steady as she goes!
