TrumanB Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, to be totally truthful here, McCain is suspending his campaign, thereby postponing Friday's debate. The MSNBC title makes it appear that McCain is just delaying the debate, when in reality he is proposing boths side suspend their entire campaigns. It'll be interesting to see Obama's response to this. It'll be difficult for him to continue with the negative ads while McCain is back in Washington dealign with this crisis.

Guest sith lord Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 If I'm Obama, I just come out with a simple statement:I am fully capable of doing my part in this financial crisis and at the same time debating John McCain on the issues. I believe the President will be called on everyday to show his ability to deal with several different tasks at the same time, and I plan to start doing that now. There you go.:applause::applause::applause: If I were Obama, I wouldn't suspend my campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane Skins Fan Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Maybe I've made my point, but what is McCain going to do if we don't get a bill passed right away? I mean, what if this DOES drag on for a couple weeks? He's just not going to campaign? He should just use his blackberry or his email to stay in touch with those necessary in DC... :doh: (I couldn't help myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAME OVER!!Mccain wins...lol I sort of agree with Michael. Here's why. Doing this fits in with McCain's "four corners" run out the clock strategy. Sure he'll take a bit of a hit on this but he gets to postpone the debate where he's strongest, increasing the chance that the debate where he's weakest (i.e. economy) which is scheduled last, might be cancelled altogether. Thus this move either puts off or potentially removes one more opportunity for him to make a big mistake or gaffe....which given his history on the campaign trail is highly likely. In short, as with the Palin pick, I think he's throwing another hail Mary pass. I think he's willing to take the short term hit in exchange for reducing chances of gaffes and the slight possibility that the American public sees him as making another heroic sacrifice by doing this. It's risky but it could very well work if the Obama camp doesn't handle it properly. Handled poorly, Obama could be seen as a cynical political opportunist.

JMS Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 My first response was critical. I'm looking forward to the debates. My preparations have been made. I've soundproofed my viewing room so as not to disturb the wife and kids with my screaming insults at the TV, I've assembled many soft objects to throw at the TV so I won't have the same unfortunate accident as in the 2004 Presidential debate. I've purchased a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue to console myself from fusteration before during and after the debate. However; On second thought, I'm a little more sympathetic. This bail out is going to play out in hours and days rather than weeks and months. Taking the next three days out to prepare for the debates when all this is going to go down, is a very tough call. This was a tough decision for McCain. I won't ridicule him for it, even though I desparately want to see him debate Obama on issues.. My preparations will keep.

Larry Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Pretty much. If McCain was so concerned about putting Country First why didn't he announce this earlier? He's known about it since last week. That's what is really gonna make this move look like sheer cowardace. "Because of an imminent crisis that happened last week, I've decided to wait a couple more days, and then announce an end to politics. It is merely a coincidence that the date I've chosen to stop campaigning is also the date of my first debate. I'm not choosing that date because of the debate. I'm choosing that date because of the crisis that I've been ignoring for the last week." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuppajones Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Wow I knew he was scared of this debate, but this is unbelievable, what a chicken. He knows he can't win the debate so he wants to back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Obama spokesman Bill Burton emails reporters: At 8:30 this morning, Senator Obama called Senator McCain to ask him if he would join in issuing a joint statement outlining their shared principles and conditions for the Treasury proposal and urging Congress and the White House to act in a bipartisan manner to pass such a proposal. At 2:30 this afternoon, Senator McCain returned Senator Obama’s call and agreed to join him in issuing such a statement.

Larry Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm also thinking that if Obama wants to get really dirty, I'd be tempted to draw a parallel between this and "W announces, two days after Katrina hits New Orleans, that he will cut his vacation short, and will return to Washington, just as soon as he finishes the fundraisers he's got scheduled for tomorrow."
