Fox News has reported that McCain will not appear for tonigh'ts scheduled debate in Missippi...all for now
It was funny to listen to the Democrats talk as thought it is.
McCain will play this like a military genius. Obama will be dumbfounded and out maneuvered.
You’re not being a pain, you’re saving my sanity!
I’ve been on pins & needles waiting to see how McCain handles this. I only read “Delays Debate” & freaked.
I feel so badly I posted bad info!
McCain is going to do the debate....from his office in Washington via satellite. He’s going to say he didn’t want to be away from his post during such an serious time for our country because he still is an elected official with a job to do......so lets start the debate.
When the country is having a heart attack, I do not expect the paramedics and heart specialists to also be able to get in a friendly game of canasta, just to show how professional they are...
A good and reasonable response would be-"The best brain surgeon alive may be able to perform delicate surgery and use a Blackberry. But does that mean it's a good idea? If it were YOU who was being operated on would you prefer to have the Dr concentrate 100% on saving your life or would you think a small distraction would make no difference?
This crises is no small thing and as many people who can should devote their UNDIVIDED attention to its resolution. Remember "COUNTRY FIRST" so.
Don’t feel bad. The mods changed the headline. Speculating about this is one of the two top stories today. We’ll know any time now for sure. Thanks for the post!
Naaahhhh...you’re in good company:) We, or I should say I, have rushed to post threads with confusing info too.
Meanwhile- the mods fixed it with a good disclaimer in parenthesis!
“Watch the itchy trigger finger until you have a solid link.”
Oh, don’t think I haven’t learned that lesson! I really feel like a total idiot.
No. I am a total idiot.
And what would be really cool would be if his cell phone kept ringing at opportune times. He could then be overheard saying things like, "Tell dingy Harry to stuff it," or "I don't care what that bitch wants."
Things like that.
The 3:00am call was made , McCain answered and responded , 0bama is MIA . Call back later I’m busy right now , says 00000bama .
I'd LOL if he used a desk like the one in the oval office.
Destabilizing ouSSabama?Could be good strategy!
OBSSAMA will fight against himself and lose!
McCAIN called for debates since a long time after the primaries and OBSAMA cut and ran....
Disagree....the bailout is what has been on the news and on America’s minds....front page. He can certainly stear the debate away from foreign policy if he so desired. A leader leads.
OK, I’m going to survive. Taking deep cleansing breaths.
Thanks for the moral support.
For some reason, this “To Debate or Not To Debate” has got me so crazy, I’m talking to myself. No matter what McCain decides, he’ll get slammed.
But I’m sure the pros in his campaign are ready. They prolly don’t need my help in working thru this.
And after this morning’s debacle, that’s a good thing.
Obama loses AGAIN. If he doesn’t come back to do the JOB HE WAS ELECTED FOR he stands in stark opposition to J McCain who is in fact doing what he was ELECTED to do. Country First, Country First, Country first.
Neither of these guys was elected to run for president.
What did Reagan do? He didn’t go through the media, he went directly to the American people. This is what McCain needs to do through the debates.
McCain is making a huge mistake.
Why does anyone think the debate will only be delayed? Obama will say “you had your chance”, and will not reschedule. he is not as good a debater as McCain, and wanted to reduce the number of debates.
Obama gets a nationally televised free commercial.
McCain has to understand that a financial bailout is second to 4 years of leadership.
