McCain camp to propose postponing VP debate
Posted: 07:08 PM ET

From CNN Correspondent Dana Bash
(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.

Graham says the McCain camp is well aware of the position of the Obama campaign and the debate commission that the debate should go on as planned — but both he and another senior McCain adviser insist the Republican nominee will not go to the debate Friday if there's no deal on the bailout.

5. How about we have a 4 person debate free for all. Obama and Biden vs McCain and Palin. Ha. I'd pay

to see that. Think it would ever happen?

7. You mean a "tag" match? OMG, 150 M will tune in for that.

8. We can lower a steel cage over the four podiums as well and have Hulk Hogan be the moderator. Maybe

then the American public would pay attention.

9. Actually, I was thinking about Hacksaw Jim Dugan myself.

6. What a surprise ! n/t

[crickets]

10. Could they *be* more rude to the people organizing the debates?

Seriously, this is just beyond the pale. Do they not bother to think at all about the people who prepare the venue and the trouble, not to mention the expense, of rearranging everything? Even the expense to the press and other people who've made flight arrangements that would have to be juggled, etc?

McCain: you made a COMMITMENT to be there at a specific time, now shut up and show up. Loser.

12. Maybe, we should wait until after the election.

Obviously, the country can't function without McLame running the show in Washington, we just afford to have him out of town!
