Oh so convenient...

Stop the madness.

TPM reports McCain is slithering his way out of the first presidential debate and wants to reschedule it for October 2nd, which just so happens to be the date for the one and only vice presidential debate.

This financial meltdown is freaking scary. It is a national crisis, but the economy is not going to be saved by putting to a hault this presidential debate. And the media is not going to show the McCain/Palin ticket any more "deference" if the one VP debate is canceled.

In my view, there isn't a more pertinent time for a presidential debate. Voters need to hear as much from these candidates as possible. We need to hear how they are going to fix this mess because it will be one of theirs in less than four months.

Honestly, I think the McCain camp will do all they can to keep Palin from facing Biden.

America needs to see these debates. All of them.

Touche. There's nothing worse than pretending you are doing something for a great and noble cause when your really just trying to wiggle your way out of watching your far to popular, ticket bolstering VP candidate get chewed up by a senior senate member.
