McCain had invited his opponent to join him in returning to Washington to deal with the crisis. He also asked for a delay in the first debate of the General election which is scheduled for Friday evening in Mississippi.

So let Bambi debate himself.

Major Major mistake on Obama's part.

This reveals thathe is only about politics and not about the country.

Stepped on his johnson this time.

McCain should offer to vote “Present” for Obama.

[1066AD]

IMHO the debates are generally so scripted as to be useless anyway.

I saw one suggestion today - have the debate but make it a debate on the credit problem itself !

[Wuli]

The debate McCain wants to be part of, in Congress - and feels he should be part of; Country First - is not the debate Obama’s handlers prepared him for - THAT’s THE PROBLEMO IN A KENYAN NUTSHELL!!!!

[gaggs]

It looks like Obama will vote Present on America's Financial meltdown.

[Argus]

Obama just caved, announced he’s suspending his campaign and delaying the debate.

Sounds like Unconditional Surrender.

[Let's Roll]

Zero must have forgotten there won’t be a teleprompter at the debates. Oh, wait ... he probably has the Q&As memorized and doesn’t want to be all dressed up with no place to go.

[Rennes Templar]

Can this election get anymore bizarre?

[eggman]

McCain is calling out Barack to walk the walk. Barack is still content to just talk the talk. Barack has spent most of his time as a Senator running for President. He has no intention of going back to do the job he was elected to do. He would rather talk about what he plans to do as President rather than take any action.

[arasina]

Obama won't even be able to vote Present. LOL

[Hattie]

“Call me if you need me”. We don’t need you Obama. Let Obama debate with CNN. The debates are just liberal media setups anyway.

[#1CTYankee]

Obama is an idiot, this will cost him some votes.

McCain must play poker. (not the Bill Clinton kind ;-D)

[LS]

Good move by McCain . . . if and only if this calms the markets. If it does so, and Obama is left on a stage by himself, he will look completely unpresidential and petty.

[Caipirabob]

FReeper Petronski suggested that McCain should tell Obama he could debate Joe Biden in his stead. Apparently Obama and Biden have enough policy differences between them to make a pretty meaningful debate.

[Cinnamon Girl]

THIS PROVES OBAMA IS AN ANTI-SEMITE! It’s SHABBOS!

[Rudder]

McCain's move throws Obama off his stride. Sort of like yelling, "Boo!" when a bowler is just about to release the ball.

Hehehe

[EBH]

Funny things running through my head right now. Remember those old Wendy’s commercials with the old lady asking where’s the beef?

Where’s the Obama?

McCain remembers he is first and foremost a public servent, a senator, and then a candidate for President.

[Colonial Warrior]

[HighlyOpinionated]

Sen Obama didn’t have time to contact all of his hundreds of advisers and get them to poll his largest supporters (Palestinians, Chicago Mobsters, Communist Party in the USA, ACORN, etc) to find out what he’s supposed to think about the economic situation. And he’s afraid he’ll forget all that he memorized if the debate is canceled or delayed.

Send in Gov. Palin (and make him call her GOVERNOR and not “the Mayor of Wasilla”).
