I’m waiting for the first commentator to say this was calculated to distract people from watching Palin’s interview with The Perky One.

“I just worry that most Americans are going to see this as panicing under pressure.”

Worry if you wish, but I think it is unjustified to do so, IMHO.

Lindsey Graham on Fox now....”We don’t need a debate right now, we need a solution”. “We’ve been begging this guy to debate us for the past 6 months”

The only thing it helps is Obama.

How does postponing the debate help The One?

Forgot to ask - is the Senate going to be working Friday night? If a deal isn't worked out, I imagine so. Keep your fingers in your ears; really, the credit situation is perfect. /sar

They’d better get to work! I just contacted my Rep and Sens with the following email:

I am opposed to the proposed government bailout of these failing financial institutions through the use of taxpayer dollars. The answer to this dilemma is not to punish the honest, hard-working taxpayers, but, rather to find some alternative that directly involves seeking restitution from all invovled in bad business practices. Those high up in the corporate ladder, those who sit in boardrooms, those who reaped financial windfall, and, yes, those who passed egregiously short-sighted legislation that legalized all this should be made to pony up well in advance of the taxpayers who a) did things the right way, b) did not seek to earn money through sleight-of-hand financing and legislation and c) invested trust in America’s legislators and financial systems to run a fair game. All of you have let the American people down, and now you want to come running to our pocketbooks first! I say, “No.” It is time you all learn to live within your means, just as we have had to do here at the our home. And, just like at our home, when a mistake is made, those responsible must correct it themselves. I exhort you to find some other solution, start acting responsibly and please, take your hand out of my wallet!
Sincerely,

You know McCain hit it out of the park the way the hysteria is going around here from some of these people. I cannot quit laughing as they turn into pretzels trying to say how bad it is for McCain. My favorite is that he is afraid to debate ZERO — give me a break!

I sense another 3:00 AM add coming. Maybe Obama will call McCain a coward for not debating.

How could you tell Joe Montana was playing in a game where his team was down in an playoff game?

Montana got paid to be a quarterback.

McCain gets paid to lead in the Senate.

Barry is in it for himself.

There's the difference.

as for making the obama cult see facts and common sense then don’t bother they’re a cult and only see their messiah .

obama can do more than one thing,,er lets see obama you have not been a senator for long
you know nothing
you hardly ever take a position and instead vote present too many times
where have you been for months with debates
yes running away and letting the media cover for you

All I can infer is that W is going to give a pretty scary presser tonight. And he told McCain in advance.

McCain will be in the midst of the Congressional gnarl seeking to find a solution tot he impasse and get something done ... we can only hope he gets something not so insane as Bush’s men are pushing.

Why wasn't he doing that before now? It sounds like McCain wasn't paying attention to the economy if he waited until now to "roll up his sleeves" like some are saying.

not so insane as Bush’s men are pushing.

You reach a point where anything that anybody pushes is going to be insane. We started reaching that point the moment the government got in the business of bailing people out of mortgages they should never have taken.

If they don't get the issue resolved and voted on, yes, they will be forced to work around the clock. Executive Orders trump Congress when it comes to staying on the job until it gets completed.

McCain sure looks bad as if running scared.

Bullshit!

John McCain was tortured for more than five years. Do you think an empty suit like Obama scares him?

McCain is great at debating.
