First off, I think that John McCain’s sudden urge to cancel the debates just reeks of desperation. McCain is still going to another event tomorrow. Why didn’t he propose changing the debate when the news broke? Why is McCain only talking about this when the polls show his numbers dropping? How does he get from "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" to "Wow. Dude. This is like, way bad. I totally have to cram for something else."
If he can’t multi-task during the campaign, how can he multi-task if he were to be in the White House??
McCain is a joke.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued a statement on Sen. John McCain’s effort to postpone the first presidential debate, stressing it "would not be helpful at this time to have them come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process."
He added: "If there were ever a time for both candidates to hold a debate before the American people about this serious challenge, it is now."
Joe Klein: "Perhaps, if he’s really interested in this financial stuff, McCain should propose that he and Obama change the topic from foreign policy to economics this Friday night — they could even stage the debate in Washington, so they wouldn’t have to stray far from the bailout negotiations. I’m sure their fellow members of the Senate won’t mind if McCain and Obama spend a few hours enlightening the public on this crucial subject."
CNN reports Obama is "inclined" to go ahead with the debate.
