Debate About the Debate: He Said….He Said
Debate About the Debate: He Said….He Said
How tedious. This presidential campaign is deteriorating. Period.
A photo in today’s newspapers shows a fellow in Oxford, Mississippi, painting final touch-ups on the stage in preparation for the “Great” debate. The Networks are READY! The University of Mississippi is READY! The political pundits are READY! The country’s electorate is READY!
Even though the subjects of tonight’s debate are supposed to be foreign affairs and national security, how can the candidates or the panelists ignore the financial crisis bailout that the Administration and the Congress have been dealing with?
And at this hour…doesn’t really matter what “this hour” is, we don’t know who will show up and who won’t.
I can’t imagine that McCain can take much more heat than he already has over his attempt to postpone the debate. I don’t believe I have seen or heard anyone willing to go on record as supporting his postponement proposal. It simply wasn’t a well-thought-out plan. Much like a lot of the strategic planning the McCain staff have come up with. If this was Senator McCain’s own idea, as a tactic, I think it failed. God help him AND HIS CAMPAIGN, if he fails to appear for the debate and America sees only Senator Obama and an empty lectern on the other side of the stage.
