If most of our voters were smarter, then most of the recent discoveries about democrats having caused the lending crisis would help McCain. In fact, McCain actually tried to reform lending in 2005, although the mainstream media will tell every lie in the book to cloud the issue. Another “it’s only about sex” ploy. Now, I am particularly disturbed by Barney Frank’s incompetence and dishonesty, but it won’t make a difference, because today’s dems don’t vote on issues.
I’ll bet Barney Frank keeps his job as long as he wants.

I hope you are wrong, I am looking forward to the VP debate more than the presidential debates.

They are now saying that they want to have the foreign policy debate in lieu of the vice presidential debate and reschedule the vice presidential debate to a later time. Given the fact that McCain seemingly does not want his running mate to answer tough questions, I have to wonder that if he gets his way that the vice presidential debate will be canceled due to lack of time or logistics (or similar lame excuse).

Food for thought.

He is making a good case for his decision right now, in his speech at the global initiative in New York. Sounds like he knows something about money and the economy to me. I don’t really see how anyone could think that he is afraid of debating Obama. Oops, he just said “the Wall Street crowd”. Sounds a titch anti-capitalist to me. I think hindsight will be 20/20 on this one……..

I don’t think that this was an excuse to stall the debate because the debate was going to be on foreign policy and that is supposed to be McCain’s strong point. It could come across as knee jerk, that was an angle that I didn’t think of.
What would it say about Obama if the congress doesn’t think that he can be useful? That he is useless?

I agree huge gamble on McCain’s part but with the hit in the polls because of the crisis, he needs to do something. One can say this a demonstration of his tendency for knee-jerk reactions. Either that or he’s trying to stall the debate.

Obama has already said that he is willing to go back to Washington if he will be useful. The last thing that the our spineless, do-nothing congress needs is a media circus brought on by politics.
