He chose Palin and that blew up in his face. He now thinks he can do a patriotic song and dance and say he shows leadership and puts country first. We all know the truth. His world revolves around him and he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. This is the problem with this man. He does rash things without thinking them through and then will not back down because to do so in his mind is unmanley. He has a problem with women and thinks he can control them and that they are there just for him. He is a man that thinks women should be armcandy and window dressing and nothing more. If tyhey dare express themselves as having an opinion he laughs and thinks they are inept. He is holding Palin back because he knows she is an airhead whose claim to fame is that she has been in the right place at the right time and is not above abandoning truth to get what she wants.

They might as well be coming from the Obama campaign themselves. First, McCain suggested that BOTH he and Obama postpone the debate and come to Washington to help solve the problem. Otherwise, we'll get the same mess we've got now, i.e. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid manipulating the situation to try to make Republicans look bad so they can continue to cast the blame elsewhere for things that happened under their watch (as well as Bill Clinton's). McCain is the one taking politics out of the equation by saying he and Obama should work together for the betterment of the country. It's ironic that those who claim to want government to be bipartisan, are so disgustingly partisan themselves that they can't see real bipartisanship when it happens.

They are still Senators, and they have a job to do. I know people think that McCain stepping away from the debate is a politcal move, but so is not returning to vote on the bill. If Obama does not vote on it, then he doesn't have to take responsibility if it doesn't work; if he votes while away, later on you could be hearing how he didn't have all the information and would change his vote. There have been plenty of opportunities to debate, and discussing the issues without a prepared speech certainly has not hurt McCain so far, so I doubt fear has much to do with it. He has infinitely more experience than Obama in debating. I wonder what the reaction would have been if Senator Obama had suggested coming back.

We need a solution for the crisis. These two candidates doing a circus does not do any good. The issue is neither candidate will be helpful in solving the situation. Instead of inviting them to solve the issue, we should lock them in somewhere, and hide them from the scene for a while. And once the crisis is over, the both parties should step back and replace the candidates, decent people like Hillary Clinton or Olympia Snowe. On this one, I agree with McCain.

It is really funny that 2 days before the debate he feels that it is of the upmost importance that everything stop so that he can help with the crises. This really doesn't seem to be very presidential to me. He can fool some people by trying to make them think that he is doing it for them, but his reasons are truly selfish.

Fine, I believe him. If he isn't part of the solution, I would rather he not be part of the problem. There is a bipartisan group working on a solution now. Why would either candidate want to mess this up unless it was a political stunt that they thought might benefit them? Hold the debate and keep campaigning.

If the two sides manage to come up with a solution once McCain gets into the mix than he can take some credit for the result. The problem is is that this bail out is not popular especially with Conservatives. He is walking a very tricky balancing act. If McCain can get some concessions on CEO compensation in failed businesses and strong oversight and regulations, he might do well. McCain is losing the economic argument.
