TWO RIVALS, TOGETHER ON 9/11
[1] Their vitriol seems to be increasing by the
day, but Senators John McCain and Barack
Obama said on Saturday that they planned
to make a rare joint appearance at ground
[5] zero for the seventh anniversary of the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The campaigns had already pledged to
suspend their television advertising on
Thursday, and Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama
[10] are scheduled to appear at a forum on
national service at Columbia University that
evening.
The idea of displaying a broader sign of
unity originated ∈a conversation between
[15] the two men late last week, aides said, after
Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee for
president, called Mr. McCain to
congratulate him on accepting the
Republican nomination.
[20] “All of us came together on 9/11, not as
Democrats or Republicans, but as
Americans,” the candidates said ∈a joint
statement. “In smoke-filled corridors and on
the steps of the Capitol, at blood banks and
[25] at vigils, we were united as one American
family.
“On Thursday, we will put aside politics and
come together to renew that unity, to honor
the memory of each and every American
[30] who died, and to grieve with the families
and friends who lost loved ones.”
The side-by-side appearance will be the
first of several for Mr. McCain and Mr.
Obama ∈ the final two months of the
[35] campaign, including their three debates, the
first of which will be on Sept. 26.
