so will this debate go on Friday night? 

I am reading the the obama campaign, the DNC, and the debate sponsors all want to go forward with the debate.  mccain should tell them to debate THIS.

OK. But, shouldn't he resign his Senate seat to focus on the campaign? I'd like both he and the Obamessiah to do so.

Hell, yeah, country first. Although Barack Hussein Obama would be worthless again even if he did go back to the Senate, and he probably won't. He's probably still waiting on the word from Soros.

But McCain, he is gutsy - this is another one of his bold and courageous, offensive moves that are sincere. Some cable news show said Barack Hussein Obama was supposed to release a statement on this at 4:45 EDT, better fire up that teleprompter.

ignore his first statement, and even most of his second statement.  usually, he doesn't mean it until his third statement. :whatever:

and what exactly is Obama going to do?

Barakstar! will very shortly come down from The Mountainr and after having put it through focus groups opinion polls and and licking his finger and sticking it in the air...read to us from stone tablets exactly what he intends to do to "heal" the economy.

Teh Obamessiah is speaking right now.  He's contributing to global warming right now, with all of the hot air that's coming from his mouth.

Its a gutsy move, for sure, and the only way Obama can save any face is to play along. At least that how it is in the real world.

In MSM land it will be "McCain uses economy to back out of debate with Obama" < this is a certain guarantee - the question is how many people will buy it ?

no one that saw the saddleback throwdown, or remembers that it was The BarackStar! that nitially agreed, and then backed away, from mccain's "10 town halls" proposal.

Fox has a live video stream now of the Barackstar making his "statement"....of all the words that can be said about him, "empty suit" just fits so well.

I can't imagine Obama would find it difficult to take two diferent positions on any given topic. He can easily debate himself.

This is actually pretty comical ifyou take away the seriousness of the economy.  McCain has Barrack right where he wants him.  Barrack is backed up into the "reactionary" mode.  He's no longer the leader.
Those years McCain spent with his captors probably taught him some very valuable tools on how to shake up your opponent.  Have to give it to the old geezer...he's got some skillz.

Someone please convince me that I am being paranoid.  I have a really bad feeling about the next week or so.  I worry with the Russian military in Venezula, China is involved now too.  North Korea just kicked out the UN nuke guys.  Maybe it is just the freaking in me but I feel a need to stock more ammo and food all of the sudden.
