8. Meaning what? If McCain doesn't show

will Obama show up and have the forum to himself? Or maybe McCain will send Palin..... oohh, that would be FUN!!!

3. You betcha!

4. Natch.

C'mon.

Are you kidding?

[Larkspur]

5. As of now, yes Obama is going ahead with the debate

and he should. Harry Reid suggested that both of them stay out of Washington until the vote is up. Reid doesn't want negotiations politicized any more than they are by the Bush Admin already.

6. He said that they're more important than EVER!

9. I think so; Obama seems to think this is EXACTLY the right time to

have a debate since one of them will be in charge in about 40 days.

He's just worried about partisan 'politics' getting in the way.

10. He said they need to and that presidents should be able to multi task

[Chichiri]

11. Obama says yes.

This is precisely the time when Americans NEED to hear from the people that, in 40 days, they're going to choose to lead the country, he says.

[City Lights]

12. Yes. Says they're needed more now than ever since one of them will be

responsible for this mess in 40 days or so.

13. I'll bet McCain gets shamed into going ahead with the debate
