McCain's debate suspension idea becomes clearer

McCain camp to propose postponing VP debate

McCain supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there's no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.

In this scenario, the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin would be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, and take place in Oxford, Mississippi, currently slated to be the site of the first presidential faceoff this Friday.

Graham says the McCain camp is well aware of the position of the Obama campaign and the debate commission that the debate should go on as planned — but both he and another senior McCain adviser insist the Republican nominee will not go to the debate Friday if there's no deal on the bailout.

Look Johnny, we know she's not doing well on the whole interview front and after a while it gets embarrassing. All she does is repeat rote slogans and vague generalities and when gets asked to name something, anything, specific can only offer up a blank stare and an offer to 'get back to you later.' Oh well, I guess you shouldn't have picked her then. But here's the thing, you can't hide her until November, much as you'd obviously like to. Oh, and good job trying to bury her interview with Couric yesterday by going over and giving Katie a live one. Preempting your own VP, that's a new one.

Eventually she's going to have to sit down for a period of hours with Joe Biden, on TV, and get asked questions she can't get back to the moderator later on. It appears there is going to be a bailout solution and most of it was worked out this morning and yesterday, when you were too busy chatting up Lady Rothschild, Bono, and Couric while 'suspending your campaign' to actually be involved in the negotiations. They'll have something out, possibly before you even get to Washington, you'll have to debate on Friday and your girl will have to give us the live version of the moose in the headlights look. Sorry the world didn't stop to hide your mistakes. If you get in a really fast jet, I'm sure you can get to Washington and delay the bailout til' Saturday with an expertly devised tantrum. Or just not show up to the debate Friday. Grow up, take your medicine like a big boy.
