No one would pay any attention to a foreign policy debate anyway, so that's sound. This is very important and urgent (though bad) legislation, and it's arguably more important than more politics.
But I'm not sure how McCain helps the bill. This isn't a case of an obvious solution gummed up by partisanship. The proposal has real problems, and I haven't yet heard the framework of anything better. Knocking heads together won't help, and McCain isn't the guy to invent something in this area over the weekend. McCain probably can help round up enough Republicans to deliver this thing, but then he attaches himself to something that really doesn't make much sense.
On the other hand, Obama could come off looking inflexible, too focused on politics, and unwilling to engage hard choices.
