Bear in mind that we had debates and an election in 1944, 1864. I think the participants were a little busy then too.

What about "postponing the debate" escapes you?

When the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal criticizes a republican's campaign move, you can pretty much figure it's a bad move.

That's is beyond low.  John McCain may be many things, but he is no coward.  

You are beyond a doubt one of the biggest POS for even suggesting that McCain is a coward.
McCain is a coward, for pulling out of a debate.  Plain and simple.   :aok

Looks like the mere threat of McCain going to Washington resulted in an agreement.

Just in time for the debate tomorrow night.

McCain is not President yet.  He is a US Senator.  The US Senate is debating and drafting key legislation to address the financial crisis.  He needs to be a part of that, especially considering the role he is seeking.


This time obama won't even vote present, maybe he'll send someone in his place to vote absent, if anyone is a coward it's him. 
How can you call Mccain a coward for doing his freakin job? Maybe all you guys calling him a coward could clone him to be in two places at once. I guess you've never been in a situation where you were supposed to do something, and something much more important came up and you had to cancel.

The need to actually postpone it. No reason they both can't go to Washington do there thing and still have the debate as scheduled. The economy isn't going to fail because McCain and Obama step away on Friday to have the debate. McCain is just playing politics with this and is already trying to get the VP debate canceled, because he knows Pailin isn't ready.

You don't like that I call a person who uses hot topic of the day to pull out of a presidental debate, a coward?  Explain to me how it is not cowardly, and if you are convincing, I will retract my statement. :aok

What is the number one most important issues to voters today?  The Economy and it's crisis.  Currently, the Congress is meeting to discuss and propose legislation to loan approximately 800 billion dollars.  McCain disagreed on key points of the legislation that was proposed.  He insisted that their be accountability and transparency.  It is a lot different sitting in a room with the other Senators and hearing everyone's opinion, and then hearing the opinion of the "real" players in the plan.  McCain is a part of it.  Many democrat senators insisted they would not vote yes unless McCain did.  So, McCain went to Washington and they are working on a deal.  It appears that a deal has been reached.  Initially McCain expected it take until Monday.  Postponing the debate while a real solution is figured out was the right thing to do.  

If instead he had simply refused to debate, than that would be a different story.  A postponement to deal with an economic crisis that amounts to billions of tax payer dollars is a completely reasonable and smart thing to do.

Obviously you do not understand what a democracy is.  Let alone a representative democracy.

This  is a brilliant move on obamas part:  Use the campaign as an excuse not to do his job, then when it all goes south he can say "Yo man, I wasn't even in town at the time.  This is just another example of the failed policies of George BOOOOsh."
