The debate goes on?

John McCain claims it is time to put politics aside; time to focus on the issues and fix our economy.  Barack Obama, on the other hand, is claiming that dialogue is important more now than ever.

Doesn't that make sense?  Should each of the individuals that might be running our country let the voters know what they intend on doing with the economy?  It seems to me that McCain is running from having a dialogue.
