McCain camp to propose postponing VP debate

It is getting pretty obvious that McCain can't walk and chew gum at the same time as evident by the following post at CNN.com.

(CNN)"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.

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."


The debates should go on as scheduled, there is nothing that McCain or Obama can do at this point. Let the congressional leaders negotiate the terms of the financial bailout plan with the President. 

 McCain needs to stay in touch as Obama has suggested and twist arms as needed. He needs to let the people who know about economics and the economy deal with this mess, being he has told us many times that ecomonics are not his strong suit.  

All this is a ploy to avoid debating while his poll numbers are dropping.
