Oh, don’t think I haven’t learned that lesson! I really feel like a total idiot.

No. I am a total idiot.

No you're not. You simply made a mistake.

All of us have, just like in "real" life. You'll do just fine. :)

Per story on drudge no debate if mccain doesn’t show...considered illegal contribution.

Your post will remain forever on FR in the archives and will each 6 months be recycled in large font and in RED. You will be reminded, harassed and attacked each time it appears and you will deserve it.

Carelessness is not tolerated on the Free Republic. Take heed lest it happen again.

I wondered about that. How can Obama insist the debate goes on when there is no one to debate?

Obama thinks he is so much schmarter than the rest of us peons.

Just saw the video where chairman of debates says that if McCain doesn’t attend, there will be no debate b/c if Obama is there alone it would be an illegal campain contribution. He said they should know something by noon. Can’t wait until last minute b/c secret service has to have time to do security sweep, etc.

IS THIS TRUE ?? If so Mccain should announce immediately that he won't attend so the speculation ends. He should request a reschedule for next Wednesday as he originally wanted.

If he doesn’t come back to do the JOB HE WAS ELECTED FOR

Do the job? He's voted "Present" HOW many times? That's not exactly doing your job.

Yep, and if the debate is actually delayed, meaning Obama gets to do nothing tonight, that’s a clear victory for McCain.

I agree.. watching Obama babble for 90 mins about himself. Well not only clear the house.. But turn off the few TV viewers that are watching. All said and done.. Lowest TV viewed debate ever. That well be McCains victory..

McCain may have this right. Let the public watch this guy for 90 mins with out a telepormter, could be the best political move he has done this hear..

Obama is going to look pretty stupid sitting in Mississippi when McCain is working to put the bailout package together in a bi-partisan fashion.

Poor Obama, when McCain is finished with him he won’t know whether to defecate or shine shoes. The media will chase their tails as usual. McCain can easily bypass the media by putting his message on the Internet. The talk shows will pick it up, if it is of interest, and the voters will decide which information is more credible. If the voters are as dumb as the media, and some on FR, then it won’t matter anyway.

Sure he can, but when the moderator yanks him back on track and is forced to do it several times, should JM persist, it would not look good at all. It wouldn’t do for McCain to get into an argument with the moderatotr on national TV.
