Deal is done. Will McCain debate now?
 

He didn't think they'd make a deal. :) So will he debate now?

All Aboard !!!!!!!! :1orglaugh

maybe i missed something...
but didn't he simply ask for it to be delayed, rather than cancelled completely?

please do not interrupt the trolling with facts/truths.

Yes, as always, you missed something.

Who was the troll that replied? Whoever it is I have on ignore with ffvb and I can't even see who posted

Sure will. I don't know why anyone would think mcCain is trying to skip the first debate. The first debate's subject is "foreign policy". The 3rd is "economics". Obama pushed for the order because he wanted to end on the one where he thought he had an advantage. What is it .. about 70% who think McCain is stronger on foreign policy?

The RNC frankly dances circles around everyone. It's funny to watch. :upsidedow

Can you point out where he said he wanted the debate cancelled completely?

Doesn't matter either way now does it?.....The deal is done so he will be there.

Ole Miss will be PISSED if they lose 5 million dollars that it cost to set this debate up.

again...what difference does it make NOW?

How would "foreign policy" save him from economics? The US foreign policy isn´t cheap, and everything in goverment breaks down to economics. Unless the debate is scripted, then there are lots of ways to spin whatever he says into economic questions (well at least after the debate hits YouTube :winkwink:

Do they not know who Zapatero is either?

What Keith Olbermann said, and I would agree, is this:

By pushing the first debate into the future, there's only some 19 days left to organize 4 debates - 3 with the presidential candidates and one between the VPs. With scheduling conficts, it may be likely that one debate would be dropped, and that would obviously be the VP one. Palin can't even face off against Charles Gibson, let alone Biden.

Got that right ...

We all know who is gonna win the fight: Barack Obama vs John McCain!!!

I feel confident in saying this so i will. MCCAIN IS DONE! I went to Obama's rally here yesterday in Clearwater and i must say i was simply amazed at the turn out. Granted the stadium only hold 3k of people and 15k showed up. As a white boy growing up in the ghetto this was a first time i have seen such a devise crowd mingling and talking politics with each other.

You had true ghetto people in the crown with there grills in there mouth standing and talking politics with older senior white citizens. There was such a calm in the air it was scary. I actually got a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Also there were alot of seniors out there with there Obama hats and shirts on as well.

I was about 30 feet away from Obama when he gave his speech. I love his speeches on tv but seeing it live in person is something i will never forget. The energy this man brought to us inside the stadium was just something you have to experience in person.

If he is bringing folks together like this in a small area like Clearwater you can just imagine
how things are working out in other rally area's.


Then of course you had that one Mccain supporter sneak in. He was a good old boy redeck that waited till the end of Obama's speech and started hollering vote for mccain while holding up a mccain sign. Well this little 70 year old white man climbed up and over 2 flights of seats and pulled th sign from his hand and started to rip it up lol

who?!? the latin american drug lord!?!

Im so glad that the democrats are all about free speech. :thumbsup

what difference does any of this make?

i mean rly, it's another thread on gfy, so what..:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If that would have happened at a McCain rally he would have been shot.

Yes that seems accurate... :uhoh

Am I the only one that is struck by deja vu from 2004? lol

Well they did lose 31 House and 5 Senate seats in 2006. They are expected to lose almost 20 House and 5 more Senate seats in 2008. Obama has erased a 4 point McCain lead and is up by 9 points in some polls.

Keep dancing RNC. :thumbsup

so out of his whole post, you think that tearing up the sign of someone interrupting SOMEONE ELSES free speech at his own rally is hindering it?......Out of that man's whole fucking novel about the turnout and the calm in the air and everything else, the BEST you can come up with is that?.....

Silence would've been a more powerful response than that bs. :1orglaugh

Of course he's going to debate.

This whole thing was just a ploy to lower expectations for the debate (he was busy with the crisis and didn't have time to prepare) AND it was him trying to ride into Washington and take credit for the bailout deal that he had nothing to do with.

Seeing him speak in person is incredible isn't it? Saw him last week and it was inspiring to say the least.

I know it's already been said in this thread, but I think this whole stunt was so that the McCain campaign could try to force next Thursday's VP debate to be cancelled.

They have no confidence in this woman, she's just there to look young & pretty. They don't let her answer questions from the press, don't allow cameras into the UN to report her meetings with foreign leaders, they're refusing to release her personal financial info until after the VP debate, which is now in question, it's unreal.

I've watched several Biden speaches during this campaign already and he's solid, especially on foreign policy.. he's going to expose Palin's inadequacy for the job and the GOP knows it.

And I know all politicians lie, but HOLY SHIT.. all she has are lies, here's as list of 12 biggies made since the convention, which was not very long ago.

Surely she must be the victim of some sort of witchcraft. Someone must have cast a brain addling demonic spell on her. :helpme

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And to think there's so many millions of people here that are want to put her in the white house.

a monkey could have come up with more intelligent answers...

<========== Agreed :thumbsup

McCain just said he might be there tomorrow

how does some one like this get picked for Vice fucking President nominee?

Andre Sullivan has been great the past few years... for a gay republican for Obama.

Seems McCain managed to torpedo the deal...

According to fox, there is NO DEAL !!!!

McCain must have a hardon:

- he gets away of the debate, shelters Palin from the only one ...

The cost:small ... just the American economy ....
He is a PATRIOT :thumbsup

no, a Maverick! :error

As I understand it, the University of Mississippi is not willing to cancel or postpone the debate. So if McCain doesn't show up, we might actually see the first presidential debate with only one candidate present. I'm sure Obama wouldn't mind debating with the hosts only. I also expect the news networks would happily broadcast this.

It looks like McCain went to Washington just to fuck up the current deal....so that another different deal could be made that he would be involved in...so that the story would change from the economy going to shit on the republican's watch to "McCain providing the leadership to fix the economy"

Apparently still the republican solution for everything is to cut taxes for investors and corporations. :mad:

are they fucking kidding? lol

Snake Doctor sees what you did there.

It ain't over til it's over. GOP just stalled it.

Technically the dems don't need any republicans to pass this bill...unless the republicans filibuster, which is highly unlikely.

BUT, the dems are going to want the cover of at least half the republican caucus voting for the bill, so it can't be used against them in November.

This thing was pretty much in the bag until McCain rode into town and fucked it up. I wouldn't be surprised if he drops another 5 points in the polls because of this stunt.
