He had ways of doing this that didn’t look so much like ducking out of a debate when he’s down 8 points. I’m sorry, but this looks like a tucked tail. Not Presidential at all. If the networks and Barry are there Friday and McCain is not, he’s toast.

“Obama declined, saying basically that Congress will call him if they need him.”

Being down 8 points means only McCain has something to gain from the debates. Plus, read the article. McCain offered 10 town hall debates over the summer (even offering to pay for Obama’s travel) and Obama said flat out no.

So, obviously he was not nervous about debating. Read the article b4 you post next time, moron:P

It never ceases to amaze me that the level of ignorance among republicans is about equal to that of democrats.

Ah....but what if he DOES show up at the debate?

Barry can stand there and stammer while McCain fills him in on the specifics he missed by campaigning instead of doing his job as a US Senator. Then, in case anyone missed it, he can tell the American people that he saw the financial crisis coming YEARS ago and Obama and the Dems blocked reform on it.

See how easy it can all work out?

It’s not that this isn’t “presidential”, it’s just that we already have a current President, and 98 other Senators who can do this work. John McCain should be trying to seal this election up so that we have strong leadership come January. WTF is he thinking with this stunt? Are the 98 other Senators and their aides not able to draft legislation?

Give your McCain hate propaganda a rest. Your quoting the most slanted poll from ABC and Wash Compost as some standard and use it as a cheap way to justify trashing McCain who you have always hated and trashed non stop on this website !You McCain haters have come flying out of hiding in the last few days !

Fortunately, the way you’re viewing it is very much in the minority.

He's a U.S. Senator, the ranking minority member on the Senate COMMERCE COMMITTEE and he's being paid to do his job...so I suppose, in your opinion, that's "not presidential"?
