I agree.

Substantively, I don't see any reason why they would need to suspend their campaigns, as long as they spent some time in Washington for votes and negotiations. The campaigns actually would provide a way for them to publicize their plans for the economy and to hear from actual people what they think. And it should certainly be possible to both debate on Friday night and work on the economy.

The Obama campaign has said that the two campaigns will be releasing a joint statement on the economic crisis later. The Obama campaign also just announced that they are still inclined to hold Friday's debate.
