McCain blew it. Last night Newt said no-way there’s a debate tonight and you could see in Newt’s eyes what he was really saying is ‘he’d better not cave and debate.’ Like going to the prom before the dress showed up.

Well Newt’s not the one that is seeing things turn against him. Thus far, this is NOT helping McCain. His initial plan may have been to skip the debate, but the reality of the momentum turning against him has caused him to change course.
I think it was Mike Tyson that once said: “Everyone has a plan until they get hit”.
What. It was a masterstroke. O took credit for being on the phone with all the heavy hitters working out a deal only to discover there was and still is no deal. Then he had to chase McCain to DC where 0 threw a hissy fit in the WH. Then he went to the gym saying you know where to find me. Now, he has to chase McCain back to MS, all the while having been so disrupted chasing McCain around trying to stay in front of the action while multi-tasking that he has not been preparing for the debate.
McCain was probably more or less planning on winging the debate anyway, except for a few zingers he will have up his sleeve to send 0 spinning even more. This is what a good attack pilot does.
No, sit quietly and observe while a master tactician dazzles you.
