NorthSideSox72 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Here's a thought. If McCain can't make the debate, then wouldn't it make sense to send his #2 in his stead? Palin v Obama debate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, she is ready to lead, so a debate about presidential type stuff should be right up her alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is impressive (and slightly terrifying). for future versions i would recommend using a declarative coding scheme, with a realization of this code being accomplished with PROLOG. The perfect logical programming language for this task as there is a only a single data type, yet complex relations can be defined. imperative programming, progressive indeed.

Balta1701 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 A couple of those media insider places this morning are running with thoughts of this scenario: Democrats fear this morning that McCain is setting up a scenario in which he will vote against the bill, rally conservatives to his side and, most importantly, distance himself from both President Bush and Congress before the election.

If he's stopping his campaign, going to meet with everyone, issue a joint statement with Obama, and actually negotiate - and then not support the bill he stopped everything for? Would kind of prove Obama's point that stopping a campaign isn't the right tact wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently only a few hours: McCain Spokesman Tucker Bounds: Before John McCain suspended his campaign yesterday, the situation that we're looking at today looked very different then. After he showed leadership and called for bipartisanship, for us to partisanship aside and tackle this solution head on, here we are. And we're going into a debate, I think we're going there strong.

HuskyCaucasian Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Interesting take: Is McCain attending as the Republican candidate for president, or as a Senator looking to solve a legislative impasse? According to a list of attendees circulating for today's White House meeting, McCain is bringing a campaign aide, while Obama's bringing a Senate staffer.

Balta1701 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 So, aside from heading back to washington, choosing Couric over Letterman, and trying to get the VP debate canceled, what has Senator McCain done to actually suspend his campaign? His ads are still running. None of his campaign offices have different instructions from what they had yesterday. The Senator still made his Clinton Global Initiative speech this morning. The Senator will still (Along with Senator Obama) appear on all 3 national newscasts tonight. What exactly does "Suspending one's campaign" entail?
