Admittedly, I'm a political junkie and I think McCain's decision to bail on the debate is major news. But I'm surprised at how many on-line news outlets aren't evening mentioning this:
The Austin American Statesman doesn't mention it at all on the front page.
CSN News, which used to be my mainstay when I was still a die-hard conservative, also has no mention.
The national news outlets do mention it, as seen in The New York Post and The New York Times, but the Times makes it a small headline below the picture.
Even more interesting, I find on John McCain's website a notice of new web ads posted on the same day that the campaign announced it is being "suspended".
Sometimes this all gets disheartening - thank goodness for David Letterman!
