So does Obama answer with "F*ck that sh*t?"

[bunkerbuster1]

Kinda hoping he does, in nicer words, of course.

1. Set up an empty chair for the gutless wonder.

2. If he doesn't, then McCain wins another round.

3. *Another* round? Have I missed one that he's won? n/t

6. McCain won with the Palin announcement, quite handily.

They sucked the oxygen out of the Dem convention, and then dominated the news for two weeks after that.

7. lol -- that was just their convention bounce

The Palin announcement may have goosed the far-right insane loony fringe a bit but that went flat as hell as soon as the convention bounce faded.

4. what Obama could do maybe is request the Friday's debate be on the economy instead of FP.

---snip---

The Obama campaign said Obama had called McCain around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to propose that they issue a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible. McCain called back six hours later and agreed to the idea of the statement, the Obama campaign said. McCain's statement about postponing his campaign was issued to the media a few minutes later.

Obama got the ball rolling this morning, McCain followed.
