Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama said today they will put aside
partisan politics for a joint appearance Thursday at the World Trade
Center site to mark the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The campaigns already had agreed to suspend TV advertising critical of
each other on Sept. 11. The McCain campaign has said it will air no ads
that day, Free Press of Detroit reports.
“All of us came together on 9/11 — not as Democrats or Republicans —
but as Americans,” the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees
said in a statement. “We were united as one American family. On
Thursday, we will put aside politics and come together to renew that
unity.”

Well, Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain may put aside partisan politics for those 24 hours, but rest assured, the media, including camera crews, paralanguage interpreters and graphic artists will be on High Alert.
