And by the way the man who was the head of treasury at that time said there was no correlation between that law and the current economic troubles. Also he was a democrat (I am just applying your Carl Rove logic).

I agree in the sense that it really doesn't matter anyways who caused the problem, as both parties had a substantial hand in it. Republicans may have had a slightly larger hand for the sole reason that they controlled Congress for a pretty long period of time. Clinton did sign the deregulation into law.
Hindsight is 20/20, so it is hard to blame either party for something that wasn't entirely foreseeable. Republicans had a majority in Congress too when McCain couldn't re-regulate (sounds so weird), so the Republican party didn't warm up to the idea either.
I just don't think McCain suspending his campaign is going to do any good for the American public, and may even cause more harm than good by turning this into a political battle. I think it is a politically calculated move more than anything. I think McCain is a good guy, but the intentions behind suspending his campaign are mixed at best.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
