Is the whole point of this to rattle Obama before the debate? (and try to cancel the VP debate?)

1. i think Obama has shown over the last 10 days that he

is unrattleable...

[Lucky 13]

3. Bingo. Mr. Cool-Calm-and-Collected can't be rattled.

[weezie1317]

7. Whoa!!! Don't get me wrong. I think it failed. I just wonder if that was the plan.

15. He called McCain on his bluff

No way in hell does McCain skip the debate now. Obama has made case that presidents must be able to multi-task. Also, there's a report out that he would be willing to have a town hall type of meeting for at least part of the debate if McCain isn't there. McCain can't afford to just cede that much publicity to Obama.

16. I kind of hope McCain cancels and we get the town hall. That would be almonst as fun...

as seeing Obama whip McCain's arse tomorrow night.

i would think it might take more than that to rattle the senator from illinois.

perhaps their next tactic will be for mccain to dress up in a klan outfit

2. Obama is not rattled.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. But DU sure is.

[samuraiguppy]

13. I actually rattle fairly easily--I am never

going to be president. But just because some of us are worried--we shouldn't project that onto Obama. He is the leader of the party--it is right that he is a bit better than some of us at handling things.

5. It'll take a lot more than a repukagain to rattle Obama.

He's got his eye on the prize and will not be rattled with this childish playground ploy by Magoo.

[Pirate Smile]

6. Obama doesn't rattle.

[Mz Pip]

8. IT's not Obama the McCain camp

is trying to rattle. IT's the American people. McCain is billing himself as Batman, the one who will swoop into DC and solve this crisis! People need to be very afraid if he is not allowed to do this.

THis is political theater at its highest level. McCain the hero will save the day. THat's what the spin will be. I can only hope that the American people aren't so stupid as to believe it.

9. It's a TRAP!

[blondeatlast]

10. It's a TRAP! nt

[NJmaverick]

11. Obama doesn't rattle

The only rattling is McCain's dentures.

[msallied]

12. They ought to know by now what a cool customer Obama is.

[weezie1317]

14. No need to freak out ! If you read my message, I ask if that was the plan. Only a moron...

would think it worked.
