Give Obama 90 minutes alone on stage- and a mirror.

Or better yet- let him debate Joe Biden. THAT I would pay to watch..

Sheesh, everybody just calm the (*#@ down.

Whew, thanks... I'd had just doused the BVDs with gas and was reaching for the lighter.

It’s a commercial that no one will watch.

McCain is letting Obama off the hook. McCain needs to be there.

he’d win the debate that really counts: who is ready to lead?

From Scrappleface:

“Now that I have solved the crisis,” said Sen. McCain, “I’m willing to either debate Sen. Obama Friday night, or to just sit down for a cup of coffee with him so I can tell him what it’s like to be a U.S. Senator, what the inside of the Senate chambers look like, and other things about which he might be curious.”

The DEBATE tonight is being used by Obama and his backers as talking point ... over and over..

a President can do two things at once. YET A LIFE.. Freakoids. Like we don’t get that?

Delaying the debate until next Wednesday as McCain requested isn’t the end of the world.

Also, this crisis isn’t about the ability to do two things at once. If the President were abroad or in another state he would FLY to D.C. to be at the ready to assist in finding a solution.

Obama got dusted, doesn’t look at all Presidential.

The media is going to spin everything positively for Obama, and negatively for McCain, the way they always do.

I have a nagging feeling that by late this afternoon no one is even going to remember that there was a debate scheduled for tonight.

Saw it as Fox News Alert...McCain Delays Debate.

But they’re not covering it, I agree.

McCain flying down to Missippi for that debate- is like you leaving your burning house because you promised to take your whiney teenager to a movie.

He better have Palin in MS just in case the media decides to pull a fast one and give Obama an hour and half free commercial.

Just think of all the sound bites that will give to McCain.

Let Hussein debate Obama.

If true, it certainly won’t need spinning, it would just be a fact.

That would be the best possible scenario - McCain sticking to his guns, getting a GOOD bailout plan (no ACORN!) passed and then going to MS and giving Zero a much-deserved smack down.

I wonder if Obama will come back to DC now

Hell no! Why would he?

He's got a 90 minute, uninterupted infomercial all to himself now.
