I have to disagree McCain would have very little problem debating Obama. When Obama speaks unscripted every other word out of his mouth is a....a....a. Unless he is well prepared on issues he is lost.  He honestly seems to speak like the stupid mud duck he is. McCain has tried to treat Obama with a level of respect he doesn't deserve and has come of looking washed out because he has.

My problem with all this is how the media is spinning this, they already got their lips on Bongo's backside.

His intentions are good, but asking for a delay plays into Osama's hands.

Osama is sure to spin the delay request as a sign that McCain is either unprepared to debate or incapable of multi-tasking working on the economy and debating him in the same time period.

McCain should forge ahead with the debate.

This is a close race. The debates will undoubtably play a crucial role in determining the winner.

McCain shouldn't be looking to delay the debates or give the Muslim any opportunity to avoid debating him.

McCain's best shot at defeating the Demonrat Muslim hinges upon a strong showing in their face to face confrontations.

I dissagree.  This is a brilliant move... just as the Palin pick was a brilliant move.

Firstly... the closer the debates are to the election the better.

Secondly...    It FORCES the media to show that Mccaine has extraordinary leadership and is not a cookie cutter politician like Obama.   He knows how to get people and politicians to support him.. just as he has done in previous instances...  even if it looks like a stunt... it still looks like a brilliant stunt...  in which Mccain has the nation's best interest in mind...

Finally it underscores the fact that Obama had refused... over and over to debate Mccaine in the past.  Mccaine can bring this up in the blink of an eye... if the press brings up Obama's stupid response on how important it is to have a debate now.

Cyberella:
Brian, you're a pretty smart guy.

Roadwarrior:

And if Mccain is perceived somehow as helping them put
a bailout deal together or acting in a leadership capacity
to push a bailout deal through, it would redound in his favor, hopefully.

He hopefully would be perceived as someone with more leadership
ability than Hussein.

Thats the longshot theory
