Candidates Take Break, of Sorts, to Mark 7th Anniversary of 9/11

I was at this forum tonight -- see article and 2 pics I took below.  Not much interesting because it focused on one of the few issues the candidates agree on: the importance of public service (including military service).

After days of sharp attacks against each other, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama suspended all political combat on Thursday, including television commercials, and instead made joint visits to ground zero and a forum on public service in New York to mark the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
