I’m not surprised, are you? Forfeiting on foreign policy to Obama–egads!
Big surprise. (yawn)
Thank heavens.
He was just getting in the way, in DC.
He had no choice.
Politics is a strange sport……Obama may be nervous cause he was getting more time to practice not saying uhmmm…
But then Obama can be happy for he does not have to be in the Senate and have a vote in the Bailout……
Drunk monkey
USA is being ruled by a triumvirate, Bush , Obama and McCain.
The reason being is that the dems. would kill any proposal while Mccain is up there because it would make Mccain look good. So, in order to get something done, Mccain is taking the high road and going to the debate.
that is not breaking news…..
we all knew that was going to happen.
McCain blinked.
McCain is toast.
You just cause a lot of liberals to choke on their dark, mocha latte with a dash of cinnamon.
Thanks for the update.
McCain never cancelled the debate, but was wise enough to put it on hold until he did his job in Washington.
Sure puts egg on the faces of the doubting Thomases who said he was afraid to debate Obama. He again put country first.
I’m not surprised. McCain could ill afford to allow Obama address 100 million people across the nation for 1.5 hours without any rebuttal.
Nor could he afford to allow Bob Barr to step in for him either, since that was a potential 2nd option.
It really doesn’t matter what McCain does. LIberals will mark his actions as negative. The first responder is this case in point.
Once he realized that Americans were not as stupid as he hoped, McCain had no choice but to attend the debate.
But, But he is scared, he is ducking Obama, he is afraid. Ouch, I guess the democrats will have to find a new doom and gloom talking point for the day. I wonder why McCain didn’t need all the time to practice for the debate that Obama needed. I guess he can multitask after all. Obama now is thinking of phoning the debate in, after all the kids “text” him with the answers.
I think it’s great.
I think it shows that the electorate sees his “suspension of his campaign” to have been the craven political ploy that it was, and his team has informed him that he has to get back in the game now.
McCain has always said he would debate Obama anytime anywhere. He has prodded Obama to do a town hall meeting a week where the people ask the questions rather than the press. Obama is scared to death of this format.
Any chance their answers are on foreign policy as opposed to the economy? Obama is weak in the polls on foreign affairs but strong on economy. Watch as Obama stammers through his redirecting of the subject.
I think that is the right thing to do for the American people.
The proposal is “Bush’s Baby” for all intents and purposes. Is this truly an urgent bill that needs to be pushed through, possibly. Is this an urgent bill that needs to be passed and will help Bush if it does, without a doubt.
This bill, IMHO, is more about political legacy for Bush than it is urgent economic crisis. The stock market has crashed before, it rebounds like it always does.
He’s full of it and we all know it now.
thank god
he needs to show the american people hes better than barack
It makes McCain look like he is controlling the events in washington a great plow move by McCain and the questions obama and the tax payers hold so dear suddenly become second rate insults to the man who saved america!!!!!
McCain!!!!!
I like it much better than the Qand A with Obama,had he not shown
The deal seems to be going through. He’s done what he needed to and can now go back to campaigning.
What I think is Mc Cain is a such drama queen or to put it less nice a whining beotch – nothing good will come out of this dramatic play so keep reaching for “Hope” maybe the repubs can steal that from Obama too since they ain’t got nothing else to go on…hahahaha the conservatives are doing it to themselves…..and I am enjoying the show
He had no choice. He looked like a fool.
I will give the unpopular answer.
He bowed to pressure, there is no way he should have shown up to the debate.
We all know Obama is the better speaker and given the liberel bend of the media, why go through with tonight’s debate? He gains nothing from it. He can have the better ideas, but he won’t “win.”
During the 2004 election season….
“An academic content analysis of election news later found that coverage at ABC, CBS, and NBC was more favorable toward Kerry than Bush, while coverage at Fox News Channel was more favorable toward Bush.”
There is absolutely no reason to believe anything has changed, except possibly at MSNBC…slightly.
On a personal note, I am glad the debate is happening but I think it just set a horrible
The Democrats cancelled an April 27 Presidential Debate because of “time constraints” but we can’t cancel a debate because of an economic crisis that should be the main attention of the two Presidential hopefuls?
Let’s look back to 1980 when popular to media belief, a debate was cancelled. The first debate Carter did not attend because Anderson was there. The second debate was CANCELED. The third debate, Reagan gave in and Anderson was not present (Reagan insisted on all three candidates being at the debates).
To further show how messed up our country is. An economic crisis can NOT cancel a debate, but a union strike can.
Last Dec 10, all three major Democrat candidates refused to cross a strike line to have a debate. WAY TO GO Sen. Obama. Let a stupid strike cancel a debate but NOT an economic crisis. Umm…what happened to doing TWO things at once?
I bought popcorn & a six pack…oh & I have to put a tape in the VCR (yeah I know. No DVD. Still stuck in 8-track mode)
I think…you’re still sexy.
I like it when you talk dirty.
