This is far more important.

Waiting on Obamas response to see if he will sell out his voters again.
How convenient for all of you McCain supporters. I recall a very long thread that believes that this economic situation was just Democratic "hype". Now you all are saying how this is important stuff. Get your opinions straight. What a bunch of "flip-flopping"! Do you people have any ideas of your own that don't contradict your own ideas?

What's the big deal of rescheduling a debate?
McCain is showing continued support for a bailout by taking time on this issue, and the majority of Americans don't want a bailout.

I guess McCain thinks that his showing up and dropping some of his usual f bombs will magically solve it all.

In a time of such national crisis what is clearly needed at this moment in time is for the current President to address the American people and let them know why this bailout is needed. Has not this announcement from McCain distracted from this critical moment and speech tonight? Is it in the best interest of the American people to have this decision the focus and not the message of the President as to why we need to do this at this critical juncture in American history?
Just wondering? Not the decision but the timing of the decision is what I am wondering the judgement of!

It proves that in times of crisis McCain is ready to get his hands dirty and do what it takes to make things better, whereas Nobama still spends time trying to be in the spotlight so he can have another day of fame. When it comes to being a leader, Nobama doesn't know jack.

McCain plan a 'stunt' or 'smart move' - Andy Barr - Politico.com
Not all criticism of McCain came from the left.

“What idiot came up with this stunt?” former Republican Rep. Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma asked in a post on Politico’s Arena forum. “Sorry, John; it really sounds like you're afraid to debate. This sounds like the sort of ploy we used to use in junior high school elections.”

The final verdict, of course, will come from voters.

A Survey USA poll conducted immediately after the announcement showed that roughly three out of every four Americans think the debate should go on as scheduled, while only 14 percent agreed with McCain that it should be suspended
