Debate?

Apparently it's still up in the air if McCain will be at the debate tonight. Of course, he will probably show up last minute. It appears that McCain can't handle many issues at once...but isn't that what a President is supposed to do? If he thinks that postponing the debates will help him get a boost in the polls again, I think he is seriously misled. If anything, this is showing his inability to focus on many pressing issues at once, and his lack of confidence. I also think part of his wanting to stall the election might be because of his ever-so intelligent VP mate. After the interview with Katie Couric, I think it really hit home for a lot of people that this woman truly doesn't know what is going on. How can she possibly debate against Joe Biden, who has years of experience, when she couldn't even give straight answers to Couric? You can't take a crash course in foreign policy, or the economy and expect to be able to make decisions for the country.

I came across this interesting article in The Nation about holding off on the foreign policy debate and making tonights debate solely focused on the economy and bailout. Both parties would have to agree to only discuss this topic, rather than split their time between both important issues. I think many Americans would like to hear what each has to say about the economy right now, since it is distressing.
