So McCain wants to postpone the debate.
Quick response. Do you think this will hurt McCain, and if so, how badly? Will Joe Sixpack care?
GO.

2. When Obama says that he can do 2 things at once, and Reid tells McCoward that he's not needed....

McWuss is sunk.

EDIT: Oh yah - and also when McLiar hits all of his campaign events tomorrow, despite the "timeout".

4. IT makes him look old and tired
Obama Camp has been saying, "we are fine with doing both."

This makes McCain look like he's incapable of handling a crisis, or worse yet, that he'd fold like a cheap suit if there was ever more than one crisis, which actually happens often.

5. I think McCain just crashed another one.
This is grandstanding. The cable media are shredding it.

7. Elrond! Since we go waaay back...(LOL)...here's my post...
Be prepared...if Obama doesnt agree, you're gonna hear how selfless McCain was to suspend his campaign and how selfish it was of Obama NOT to...and how that shows that the American public is not Obama's first priority...

I'm just going by the negative course of this entire campaign... The old damned if you do and damned if you don't.

And for anyone that argues…I’ll remind you while your threads are burning after the backlash… Besides, I'm NOT saying he should concede...I'm certain there is middle ground...and I would expect Obama, the only true Presidential candidate, to find that...

8. When it's damned if you do, damned if you don't, I think the best route is the one that makes you
look strongest, not weakest.

9. Ab-so-toot-ley...again that post was a look into the GOP crystal ball...not my opinion!
Watching now...I LOVED how Obama reiterated...HE initiated communication with McCain's campaign and that the two staffs are currently working on the statement...and POOF McCain shows up on tv that he's suspending his campaign....

11. Someone mentioned on here...
...how he and Sarah have been here there and everywhere and then all of a sudden, we're going to put his campaign on a stand still? Its just insane... Blitzer just asked Chuck Schumer: What are you saying, Senator, that this was a political stunt?

YA TINK??????

This thing just gets weirder and weirder and weirder...

14. it will hurt him. Leno and Letterman will have a field day with this
The joke writers are already working on it I imagine. For days they will be making jokes about McCain wanting to cancel this or cancel that.
