Since there was quite a bit of history rewriting talking place on the Sunday bobble-head shows:
Debra J. Saunders :: Townhall.com :: The Sheriff and the Professor: "...And while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid derided McCain's appearance Friday, on Wednesday Reid declared a need for 'the Republicans to start producing some votes for us. We need the Republican nominee for president to let us know where he stands and what we should do.'
The alleged deal that had been cut before McCain landed in Washington Thursday did not exist. House Republicans had not signed on. Without them, Democrats would not sign on. On Friday, Reid falsely claimed there was a deal 'and then guess who came into town.'
And: 'The insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful. It's been harmful.' No lie, but it's Reid and company who appeared ready to scuttle any settlement lest McCain get the credit.
The campaign suspension did serve to add drama to a campaign season that has been provided a rush of roller-coaster moments -- making Friday's debate all that much more a high-stakes affair..."
