The election is canceled and Bush stays president for 4 more years.

If the media had any backbone they would air the debate in full. You cannot tolerate a bully/coward calling the shots.

Have Obama just rip McCain the whole time and show an image of his empty podium.

If they show Obama at the podium and cut to a picture of McCain working his a** off on the hill doing the people's business- that would be great!

I don't think they have any photos of him doing that.. only ones of him napping.

You mean pandering. What exactly is superman McCain going to do to solve the economic crisis by canceling an hour debate? This is going to take YEARS to fix...and a big role is going to be played by whoever is in office. And who exactly are we going to know who to elect to correct the issue if we cannot hear them discuss it face to face?

I keep thinking of the skit on SNL about Palin and Hillary and I keep thinking that maybe McCain ought to do as Hillary suggested to the media and borrow hers if he can't grow his own.
