I don’t know, have some doubts about this move. Why not hold the debate anyways, but make it 100% about the economical crisis at hand? Let’s push Obama into putting in plain words what he would do to fix this right now. No quibbles, not shimmying behind vague, futuristic proposals. Sit down, face-to-face and nail him.

Because by being in the Senate, McCain gets to speak from the Senate floor, and Obama (the idiot) has said he won't even be there.

Make no mistake: "the debate" is still on; Obama is just too stupid to realize it.
