10 hours before the debate we still don't know if McCain will show up?

.

How really bizarre have things gotten?

[lisa58]

1. he'll be there - he just likes to play chicken

[jojo54]

2. IMO, his campaign will suffer a nuclear meltdown if he doesn't show.

[City Lights]

5. I agree. nt

[Botany]

Old Miss has spent $5.5 million getting ready if McCain ducks out .....

....... he will catch hell.

[npincus]

3. unprofessional, unpresidential, unstable, unfair (to his opponent).

[HughMoran]

4. Fuck him

I'm not giving him the satisfaction of playing this waiting game

[NorthCarolina]

6. What would the MSM be saying about Obama if he pulled out of a debate?

eom

[secondwind]

7. meantime, the next POTUS leaves for the airport in less than an hour

[orwell]

8. Drama.King...

...End the drama, Vote Obama

[Arkansas Granny]

9. I don't know what made McCain and/or his advisors think that this "delay"

would be a good idea, but these grandstanding stunts convince me more than ever that McCain does not possess the judgment that is necessary to lead this country.

10. He'd better....

Think about it.
They expect 50 million or more to tune in.

Analysts are ready, the stage is set, and networks are pumped up. Does anyone think they'll just wrap it up and go home because the old man wants to sit around the senate with his thumb up his ass?

One way or another, the media will have their night, even if Obama has to debate a sockpuppet. Personally, I doubt viewers will even notice, but McDumbass doesn't want to whiz these people off with such an obvious political ploy, because they can get even.
