MSNBC is reporting that McCain wants to put Friday's debate on ice and has asked Obama to agree.
If I'm Obama, I don't let him off the hook. "Come on in," I'd say, "the water's fine." I'd even go so far as to hold a press conference at the University site of the debate and take any and all questions from the press. I'd yank Biden off the trail to speak as well.
As for McCain, what is to be gained by balking? It looks like you don't know what to do.
This is, to me, ridiculous.
Why not just open things up and debate the bailout plan? This is a perfect opportunity to be at the right place at the right time.
Man up, McCain -- if you're really ready to lead then LEAD.
The "crisis" is McCain's 3am phone call. You mean to tell me he's not going to answer?
P.S. A word about duplicate diariesj...
Before writing this diary I scanned the list of diaries and even searched on the phrase "postpone debate" and found nothing. In the few minutes it took me to do that and then write the diary, there were three others on the list ahead of me; the one that was first (and got rec'd) beat me by 8 minutes.
UPDATE: Looks like I got it wrong: McCain wants Friday postponed, that's all.
