Re: should they suspend the campaigning?

[quote=shosh;653998]everyone knows mccain will own obama in any debate, WITHOUT PROMPTERS, as obama cant talk shit without something written in front of him; thats why he asked for 4 (four) prompters for this debate. so mccain didnt cancel this because he thought he would lose the debate.[/quote]

yup. except, nobody has really stated that mccain did this because he would 'lose' a debate against obama.

btw, knock off this win/lose mentality. nothing is black and white; embrace the gray. the questions for the debates have probably been pre-picked and have likely been given to the candidates beforehand. The organization that runs the debates is chaired by 1 GOP member and 1 DNC member. It will be fair and nobody is going to 'lose'.

Re: should they suspend the campaigning?

Honestly, what exactly is the big deal here? Presidential campaigns have never, ever been conducted the way they are being conducted right now. Everybody is reading conspiracy shit into every little freakin' decision being made by both parties... wtf ???

Could it possibly matter that the first debate might take place not on September 26 but instead on October 2? And that the vice-presidential debate might have to move from October 2 to, say, October 7? And that the October 7 debate be moved to October 22? ... Oh shit, wait a minute...There's a baseball playoff game on October 22, McCain must want to hide something from baseball fans !!!

More manufactured drama and conspiracy theories coming from the leftoid mothership... yawn...

Re: should they suspend the campaigning?

There's no "conspiracy" here and I haven't heard anyone suggest that there is, but you have to know that these guys are professional politicians and when they do something, they do it for a reason. John McCain did not wake up on Wednesday morning and say, "Fuck it, I'm flying to DC to save the economy!!!" He just didn't.

His decision to advocate postponing the debate was political, just as Obama's response that he didn't think it was necessary because he could walk and chew gum at the same time was political. A week ago, McCain thought the economy was going swimmingly, and today he wants to drop everything and inject himself into an economic debate he probably doesn't even fucking understand.

Conspiracy, no. Calculated, yes.

...but I don't think it's paying off for McCain...

Re: should they suspend the campaigning?

^^^HAHAHAHA... damn toasty beat me to it by 5 sec.

that is some funny right wing shit there.. Unfortunately things (especially in politics) are premeditated. For McCain to try to call off Friday there must be a good reason for it. Not just "oh well lets move it'' , and "what's the big deal".. that is that ''what do you have to hide'' kind of mentality rather then a free mentality.
