Is it...
An attempt at manipulating the campaign in an effort to appear like he (McPain)really cares about you and I, and will do something other than what he hasn't done for the last 26 years?
An attempt at securing more time to prepare the sorry excuse for a running mate so that she might actually consider answering an unrehearsed question without repeating the interviewers name 50 times in an effort to give herself a few more seconds to think up an answer?
An attempt to really put Obama in a bind because if Obama agrees to the delay, it may appear to some that Obama is following McPain and is not a true leader, or that if Obama doesn't agree to the delay that Obama doesn't care enough about the economy so would rather debate than work through a solution ??
I'm with you Roger, there are enough people in government determining what additonal crap will eventually be doled out to the American people to pay.....
KEEP THE DEBATES AS SCHEDULED!
