Come on McCain... You and Obama can fly in for the debate (2 hours) and then fly back to solve the problems you created for us this past 8 years. McCain needs to figure out how to solve his disaster so his points will go up again, so of course, he asked someone with good judgement and knowledge to join him.... Obama.

McCain, learn something from Obama.

When the phone rings at 3 AM, you can't take a time out.

Obama. Better days lie ahead.

Notice to enemies of the USA:

If John McCain is elected President, please coordinate your schedules because he can only handle one crisis at a time.

WAFU

Another good piece of evidence showing how impulsive and erratic this guy is.

If McCain had called a truce last Monday or Tuesday, when the crisis erupted and he was ahead in the polls, that would have been leadership. Calling for it now unilaterally, when he's falling further back each day, is gamesmanship.
McCain First.

We already kicked Obama's but in the first debate. Also where was NOBAMA when he said anywhere anytime in June. Ducking McCain

Coward McCain????? You tell me John McCain - what are afraid of?????

Biden kicked you butt today and Barack has been kicking your butt in the polls - Let him finish the job and kick your fake maverick behind in the debate,too!

You are NOT needed in Washington - be a man and face your fears - debate Obama without hiding behind this crisis.

You voted for deregulation and even caused the S&L crisis with your Keating 5 lobbying. WE are NOT stupid. This is a ploy to raise his poll numbers!
A gimmick!

Everybody, VOTE for OBAMA. I don't want a coward for POTUS!

The country comes first. Good for John McCain. This shows leadership. Obama is a fraud. He has no idea about the economy. The Obama media does not want to talk about his association with thugs in Chicago, like the terrorist Bill Ayres, and his shady real estate deal.

Sounds like the neoCon's have their drawers all bunched up - doesn't it? McShame is showing us how he will lead- wait,WAIT a minute - I have to stop doing this so I can do tthis!

Sometimes emergencies happen---even to PRESIDENTS. One must have the energy, clarity to respond. Reject this ploy to stall and buy time. McCain knows nothing about the economy. He wants to steal Obama's expertise and glean some sof Obama's voters. Don't allow the latest trick to steal the election. Only delay if you swap in the VP debate....or keep the original schedule with the VP standing in for for McCain.

Hmmm, anyone think McCain is trying to have this debate held the same night as the VP debate?

That way the public wouldn't see how incompetent Palin is.

Today, Palin was asked a question. McCain's staff quickly interjected to prevent Palin from talking. When Palin looked at McCain, he shook his head no.

So...everyone was on the same page and working hard to find the right solution, so McCain rides into town and politicizes everything in the hopes nothing will ever get done. Way to put country first!

McCain is obviously a man of great chivalry and nobility. Ok all kidding aside, put Obama, Nader, Baldwin, McKinney, Barr, and Ron Paul in the debate. It may actually be interesting and fruitful.

Will you accept the scripted Presidential 'debate' again?
Brought to you by your 'good friends' at Wall Street.

No Paul or Nader Main Street USA,
nor Cynthia McKinney.

I think this is all a giant diversion from the Couric interview that was held today.

I am proud of McCain for this! what helps the country more, a debate or finding a solution to our economic crisis? im pretty sure the 2nd! when the election is over, the president needs to show real leadership and bi-partianship, when has Obama done this? Mcain and Palin seem like politicians that you actually trust, and to all you who think hes scared or this is a stunt, i think u need to realize that we need action now to economic problems not just talk.

political stunt...country first, right? Total bu((sh*t

Sen. McCain called for the debate to be postponed so that he could focus on the current economic crisis??? Maybe if he had been focusing on the growing economic crisis and spent a little time educating himself about the economy before he decided to run for president, we wouldn't HAVE crisis now. NOW, he wants to postpone the debates? Reminds me of the guy who murdered both his parents then pleaded for mercy from the court because he was an orphan!

McCain's polls are tanking, David Brooks and George Will have turned on him, Colin Powell says he was wrong about Georgia/Russia, Troopergate is exploding, the National Enquirer is saying they have proof his boss had an affair, and Chris Cox said that the Phil Gramm loophole is the reason that the SEC can't stop the unethical trading.

So, why doesn't he want to debate?

Is it that Rick Davis's company has been exposed as taking money from Fannie/Freddie through August of 2008?

Or, is it worried about Polar Bears?

What a coward McShame is.
