Default McCain Camp: Let's Postpone VP Debate Too

WTF!!...Okay now I come to the conclusion that all this about suspending his campaign and going to Washington is not his idea of 'country first', rather it's a political tactic to give Palin more time to prepare and fool us Americans. I wouldn't come to this if the McCain camp wanted to reschedule the debate this Friday to another date except next Thursday, which is when the VP debate is scheduled.

Article Quote:
Quote:
The McCain campaign told ABC News on Wednesday that John McCain wants to postpone Friday's presidential debate until Thursday, Oct. 2.

The Arizona senator would like the vice presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, which is currently scheduled to take place on Thursday, Oct. 2 in St. Louis, Missouri, to be scheduled for a later unspecified date.

Thoughts Please...

I agree Raytri...the VP Debate should run as scheduled. Palin shouldn't be giving more on the job training.

I think if the VP debate is postponed with no set date, it won't happen.

It all makes since, McCain will own up to his responsibility to his fellow Americans.

On the other hand, it doesn't make much sense for Obama to return only to vote present, being absent achieves the same result, doesn't it?

No it's not the same. IL house is not Congress. Once they hash out the concerns, there'll be a vote, it will pass.

Not that again.

Repeat after me:

1. 129 "present votes."

2. Out of 4,000 total votes cast in his state senate career.

3. Further, voting present is a parliamentary strategy, not simply a refusal to take a stand on the issue at hand.

Next?

Default McCain camp to propose postponing VP debate (so much for not blinking!)

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...ing-vp-debate/



What happened to "You can't blink, you have to be wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we're on, reform of this country and victory in the war, you can't blink blah blah blah..."
