Quick! Hide Sarah Palin!

CNN:

"McCain supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there's no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.

In this scenario, the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin would be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, and take place in Oxford, Mississippi, currently slated to be the site of the first presidential faceoff this Friday."

1. No deal. McCain is a weasle and not a maverick.

2. See: Bailout crisis indeeed, Campaign Supension a Palin Bailout.

After she has performed so terribly on Couric and Gibson, they realized there is no way in hell she can handle even a softball debate.

So McCain did the only thing he could, try to cancel this fridays debate and have it moved to the VP debate and then reschedule the VP debate for a later time, which would either mean it never occurs or it happens too late for it to make any difference.

4. John McCain is afraid to face Obama, and afraid to have Palin face Biden.

He's a coward, and has been his whole life.

9. I've been saying this since yesterday

This is the plan - they want to protect Palin and prevent her from fully exposing her idiocy on TV for all to see.

This is the only reason for this manufactured bullshit by the McCain campaign. They are floundering and grasping at straws to prevent a total and complete meltdown.

10. Sure! Let's Have Debates After Obama Wins and The House & Senate Are Veto-Proof

There will be plenty of time then!
