“The reason McNoName capitulated his campaign to O’Vomit so he could debate and vote on it?”

Off by 8 months.
No. Primaries were over...this was just 7-8 weeks ahead of the general election. I'd have to do a little research to get the exact dates but the banking collapse happened in September, 2008. No Name immediately suspended his campaign and rushed back to DC. Just as conservatives were starting to thaw towards him a little thanks to Sarah Palin. No Name had started to make some progress in the polls and just in the nick of time he suspends his campaign.
