John McCain's campaign now wants to suspend the VP debate?
CNN's Dana Bash reports that McCain officials are "trying to negotiate with the Obama campaign and the presidential debate commission. What they are saying, and what he is saying is that they are proposing to instead of having next Thursday the vice presidential debate in St. Louis, to make that the presidential debate and then to delay the VP debate to another time. That is what they are proposing, they understand very well that both the Obama campaign and the debate commission have no intention of delaying Friday's debate, but both he and a senior advisor that if there is no bailout deal by Friday, McCain has no plan to go to debate."

It's perception that is important.
Ironically, as George Will noted yesterday, McCain is the one that looks like the Rookie.
A rookie that gives every appearance of calling for a time out out of desperation and fear.
Not exactly a presidential performance.
The debate is set in stone.
Obama will be there. Obama doesn't bail out, but McCain only wanted to in order to appear controlling, instead of bi-partisan. It back fired.
McCain is SO Done. He said he loves to BBQ, well he just BBQ'd himself. Poke the meat, he's DONE, burned to a crisp. Get your forks ready! This is going to be gooooooood eats.
Oops my bad.
If it fails it will be the republican ultra right that defeats it and the people with the rifles in their trucks will have some new heroes.
If McCain votes no and Barack votes yes watch the polls.
I KNEW if he heard it, he'd jump all over it, he was baited, he fell for it hook, line, and stinker.
They spend a lot more money on beer and cigarettes than they do at Starbucks - or for gasoline for that matter.
But they will decide this election.
Rob makes a good point, what we need is to see the Democratic elected officials to stand up to this. The Brad Sherman's of the Congress can really kick it up a notch and show that we are a party that is looking out for Americans and sound economic policy.
