Why is this NOT shocking?

I'm sure I'll regret asking this, but why do YOU think this is desperate?

Do you really think either of them being there is going to make one iota of difference? This close to an election both will just go with the popular sentiment of their party.

You're kinda young to be so cynical

So you think they should've blown off the part of the job they get paid for...so they could talk smack on tv? Interesting

They've been blowing off the part of the job they get paid for for how long already? Like a couple extra days is going to make a difference.

It's a crazy set-up for sure!

BHO says that he doesn't want to postpone the debate, which could be very interesting if McCain just doesn't show up...

That would be a blunder of epic proportions. Regardless of the Maverick thing they are pushing, McCain's whole persona is supposed to be based on bravery and honor.

Not showing up for a debate would demonstrate the opposite extremes to those wonderful traits.

McCain blinked. Good for him. I knew he was better than that.

Debate is ON.

McCain should do well...anything is better than how he has looked the last couple of days.

Oh come on. Its not like he is in some special committee. He is getting crushed in the polls right now and he knows the election is slipping away with the economy.

He knows where the mood of the country is and fair or not fair, its against his party. He knows that Friday is an awful time to debate obama.

He pulls this and he can play the whole patriotic maverick card with the numbskulls that don't know the difference.

He can do the senate things and still debate.

Since it was to be a foreign policy debate..don't you think McCain would be at an advantage? so why would he want to avoid Friday?

McCain would usually be at advantage doing foreign policy in my opinion but...is anyone going to listen to that RIGHT NOW? He can be talking about North Korea and all the public is going to hear right now is economy, economy and maybe some economy.

So in essence, McCain would be debating to his strength at a time when no one will even care thus weakening him further.
