MyDD :: McCain will debate

"What's more important than anything that when we go to Mississippi tonight, both candidates can say that the Congress is working, back in business, that we have an outline or proposal that will protect the taxpayer and save the country from financial Pearl Harbor, as Warren Buffet called it. We are not there yet, but we will get there."

Well great! (none / 0)

Since he's already won I guess my wife and will go to the movies. Thanks John for providing me with a bit of quality time.

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

Re: If Chicken John doesn't show up (none / 0)

A debate between Obama and Nader. That's my dream of a perfect America. Three and a half steps to the left, please.

Re: McCain will debate (none / 0)

MSNBC just said that McCain will show up. What was the point of this stunt?

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Re: McCain will debate (2.00 / 1)

Well, according to the McCain campaign e-mail. While Obama was using the White House summit for 'political posturing', McCain was taking the measure of the situation and looking to bring all sides together.

That's how leadership works. Don't tell anyone what you think, don't say anything and let the world burn around you. Very Presidential.

See, McCain wants to keep politics out of this. It is just his definition of 'poltics' is 'Barack Obama opens his mouth.'

How does that work? (none / 0)

How does Obama intentionally use the White House summit for anything? It was Bush's idea in the first place, and pretty obviously an attempt to get McCain to be relevant in some photo-ops.

You can't stop the signal.

Re: How does that work? (none / 0)

Obama didn't. McCain campaign blamed Obama for blow-up at the meeting. Saying he used it for 'political posturing.' Beyond ridiculous.

Obama is coming out of this looking presidential. McCain looks like a clueless chump.

Actually, it was St John's idea . . . (none / 0)

. . . according to Perino at the WH presser yesterday. GW just "thought it was a good idea" [like he'd know one if it bit him].

Re: McCain will debate (2.00 / 1)

Apparently McCain has already fixed the economy.

Books are going to be written about this schizophrenic campaign. At this point it's just getting hard to watch.

SAD (2.00 / 1)

This is like the most pathetic national candidate since Dole.

He's going down. He and his handlers know it. The only way he can keep from further sliding is his hilarious circus antics.

Oh what a sad sad sad candidate.

Put all your intrade money on Obama!

by Sieglinde on Fri Sep 26, 2008 at 11:40:30 AM EST

Re: SAD (none / 0)

I am beginning to believe that Slate.com's prediction of next McCain campaign stunts might come true.

In his opening statement, McCain will challenge Obama to head out to the Gulf and personally drill for oil to solve the energy crisis.

Whew! (none / 0)

I was so worried that he wouldn't show.

Wait....

No I wasn't.

From CNN:
"He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Rep. [Roy] Blunt as a designated negotiator for House Republicans," the campaign said in a statement.

"The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the senator will travel to the debate this afternoon."

So he's claiming all this drama was created in order to get Roy Blunt installed in the negotiations? Thanks Senator.

Resuming all activities... HAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! Does that include being batshit crazy?

Re: McCain will debate (2.00 / 1)

'member that time McCain was like "yuh-huh" and Obama was like "nuh-uh". And I was like "Oh no you didn't!". Then Obama was like "No way, dude!" and McCain was all "Says who?". That was awesome.

I am TOTALLY blown away by this righteous Maverickatude!!!

It's almost as if he doesn't know what he's doing!

Oh wait...

Thatsthe beauty of bein a maverick Together ,The Decider,and The Maverick, have helped to make this country what it has become in the last 8 years.
The definition of Maverick is "One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group" Gee I guess that makes Bush not only The Decider,but the real maverick here.
Tune in next week when McCain saves the world.

Re: McCain will debate (none / 0)

His behavior in the past month, particulary the last 2 weeks, seems as that of someone hiding their dimentia. I would not be surprised to see his famous temper erupt soon.

I am sure he will continue to deflect the questions and lie. I hope the facilitators and Obama will push him to answer and not let him get away with it.

Re: McCain will debate (none / 0)

I'm actually shocked by behavior of McCain relating to his suspension of campaign and debate, his canceling Letterman show, subsequently appearing with Couric, his statements regarding economy, and now his flip flop and going onto the debate and resuming his campaign. All of it is like flitting all over the place.

Palin's performance with Couric. Please. Can you imagine her POTUS and eye to eye with Putin. Palin is an excuse for any country to attack us thinking if this is all we have to put up as a potential president then America is weaker than anyone thought.
