OK now this is getting a bit ridiculous. The Reps and Dems in the House and Senate have pretty much agreed to a plan. They will be presenting it to Secretary Paulson and the President today. What is his excuse for not debating now.

    the longer people keep worrying if there will or will not be a debate ... they longer they are not focued on the issues.

    Lipstick and Pigs ... suspend my campaign ... flag pins ...

    it's all a trick to talk about anything BUT the issues.

    I can understand, not agree with, but understand wanting to reschedule the debate in order to focus on this issue. By all reports both parties have come to an agreement on a bill and are presenting to the treasury and president and it will go to a vote in a few days. Now there is definitely no need for him to be in Washington. He is just looking really stupid right now. For the sake of his campaign he had better come out soon and say that the debate is on.

    I would recommend that we build a 20 ft statue made of gold of McCain give the Capital Building the middle finger. An accompanying inscription on the peddle stool would read "Fuck the GOP".

    Pretty clear it's just gamesmanship now. I think he'll debate, but the fact that the country is waiting on baited breath whether or not he will is what his campaign wanted all along, and they accomplished that.

    Anything to steer clear of those issues.

    I have to say it seems like Obama dodged a bullet on this one. This could have gone badly for him but so far it seems to have back fired on McCain.

    I liked the move. He's putting his job first. It's not like they can't postpone the debate... and there are several of them.

    However, I got to admit I'd like to see a debate. So, I hope he changes his mind and markets recover.

    That would be the shit. At that point McCain will officially become my hero.

    Whether you liked the move or not the fact that a compromise has been made and a deal reached in Congress but McCain's campaign is still debating whether to debate. There truly is no reason to push back the debate now. Now if he does not show or draws this out for to long it will play out extremely poor for him.

    Something no one has brought up yet but McCain was not involved in any of the closed door meetings between House and Senate leaders to get the plan together. It could be said that his announcement was just a bit of grand standing.

    There are three debates..

    And it really does not suprise me that you think this is a good move.. putting the job first? The job is done.. this just makes him look like he is a fool now..

    I think this is largely because the press has grown a little tired of being jerked around by McCain, and they feel especially stupid for allowing the lipstick/pig nonsense to go on as long as it did...

    There's no way McCain's not going to show up for a debate if there's a done deal on the bailout. It's starting to look like this risk backfired for him. Quite something, I thought he was really going to be able to cut into Obama on this one.

    The press is also pissed at the McCain campaign for being shielded from Palin. This campaign is anything but an open book, and the press are rightfully frustrated. Any hint that a debate will be delayed just increases this frustration because it gives the impression they're continuing those charades.
