Brilliant move!! For 2 reasons:

1. BarryO has been busy trying to keep up with McCain in dealing with the economic problems and wouldn’t have had time to do all of the studying up that he’ll need to go off-teleprompter. Also, he’s been unsure as to whether or not the debate would be on, so he’s not as sharp as he’s going to need to be.
2. McCain will go into the debate FIRED UP. He doesn’t need to study up on the issues because he know his stuff and doesn’t have to make it up or remember what he said yesterday.

A third reason:

Obama has probably spent at least some time in the past few days cramming for a debate with Palin (just in case). Now all that time was wasted.

Agreed... The Fighter Pilots sword is sharpened, and his guns are clean. Øbama will be spinning in the wind.

McCain needs to memorize a few good zingers, and thats all. The rest should come naturally.

However, that being said, he also needs to match his Saddleback persona. He killed that night!

Believe me.. The way he's getting railroaded and B.S'd by Dems in Congress and the MSM, he has to be hotter than hell right now.

Looking presidential-check
Win debate by knowing the topic vs an empty suit who was memorizing talking points on the plane-check
