Barack Obama and John McCain will come together at Ground Zero for Thursday's seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks "to honor the memory of each and every American who died, and to grieve with the families and friends who lost loved ones.” The notion to commemorate in unity came about during a conversation Wednesday when Obama had called McCain to congratulate him on the Republican nomination. Obama pitched the idea and McCain immediately accepted the invitation. This will be the two candidates first joint appearance coming out of the conventions. Later that night, the two will participate in a forum on public service at Columbia University. The campaigns had already pledged to suspend their television advertising on Thursday.

Finally, two candidates who can put aside partisan differences and respect this day for the momentous tragedy that it was. I, for one, am glad that neither candidate is using 9/11 as a cheap gimmick to bolster his political following and percieved patriotism.
And they said they weren't going to politicize 9/11! And dooWOP, Giuliani will probably be there, since he was America's mayor on that day.
Perhaps we can all gather at the edges and stage a mass-throwup protest to show how we are all sick of this?
its almost like kennedy-goldwater would have been. not really, but almost.
John McCain has more dignity and respect in his pinky than Giuliani has in his whole body. This is coming from someone with a man-crush on Obama.
I'm not even remotely a fan of Giuliani, but is "dooWOP" really necessary Ms.Chung??
