So McCain got his way?
Is that what happened? I stepped out for a couple of hours and return to this, but I don't know what the fuck is going on.

2. Well, all of a sudden there's no deal, so no debate for McJackass.
I imagine he begged Bush and Boner to sabotage the agreement so that he didn't have to debate, and so that Palin doesn't have to debate. He is the most yellow coward in politics.

3. Good! Let;s have Obama's town hall.

100 million people were set to view the debate. mcPOW as a no show hurts him more than mcPOW as luke warm.

5. But that probably hurts him more than tanking in a debate.
If he doesn't show up and Obama does, it looks like a total mess.

4. The whole fucking stunt was designed to give him the win
The White House was in on it, The GOP Congress was in on it.

8. And yet now McCain's balls are in a vice
He can either skip the debate, and give Obama the forum, or he can cave on what he said earlier and go down and do the debate. There will be no agreement tomorrow if our leadership on the Hill has a clue.

9. Flip flopping is nothing new to McCain
He can say he was only kidding about not showing up

11. He can say what he wants
But that doesn't mean it flies. As long as there is no agreement before the debate, this is a win win situation for Obama any way you slice it.
