Debate Uncertainty
(CBS)
(WASHINGTON) On the morning of the first presidential debate, it still remains unclear if the debate will even take place. As far as Barack Obama is concerned, it’s still a go.
Despite drastically cutting down his debate prep to deal with the financial crisis, he will travel to Oxford, Mississippi early this afternoon. He is scheduled to do walkthrough of the debate site at the University of Mississippi at 1 pm.
Last night, Obama said the 90-minute debate is “the most important thing that John McCain and I can do,” adding, “One of us is going to be in charge of this mess in 4 months and the American people, I think, not only have a right but have an obligation to find out where we want to take the country.”
It still remains unclear whether John McCain will attend the debate. McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt told reporters last night that McCain is “excited and looking forward to these debates” but said that he is more concerned with what happens to taxpayers.
"The debate is important, but John McCain is fighting for 300 million Americans who face a terrible crisis right now. And he's going to continue to focus on that," Schmidt said.
After suspending his campaign on Wednesday, McCain said he would only attend the debate if an agreement on the bailout plan is reached by today.
Meantime, despite the uncertainty of McCain's attendance in Mississippi, his running mate Sarah Palin is scheduled to attend a debate watch party in Philadelphia tonight.
Haven''t we had enough of politicians who hole themselves up in Washington meetings and refuse to talk with the people? This seems to have been the strategy of the entire McCain since the convention. They won''t answer questions, and then tell us that we should just trust that they will do the "right thing," without even giving details about what they propose to do.
If McCain is going to save the day, why hasn''t he even made it clear where he stands on the competing plans?
TV stations are also reporting they have been told to run McCain ads starting tomorrow.
Your posts simply crack me up. I can hardly get off the floor after reading your drivel. You sound like a programmed robot like all the other culturally conditioned Republicans who wrap themselves in flag pins. There is no individuality or integrity present in your thought process. If you haven''t noticed, your "candidate" McChicken is 9 points down in the polls and falling more every day. This is because of his obvious blunders, incompetence, and lack of leadership. Keep posting however...if nothing else...your posts are entertaining.
By the way, did you hear your buddy Lieberman talk about Freedom of Speech on Morning Joe (sep 26)?
Remember how your storm troopers threw out a lady who lives on Main St when she arrived with a sign saying something you didn''t like. Freedom of speech...what a joke....you only believe in the constitution when it benefits you.
You and Lieberman are hypocrites
Just in case you forgot
