Clearly I'm not changing your mind on this

WOW!!!
Very astute observation on this....I think pretty much Obama called McCain's bluff on ducking the debate and seeing as Congress has it in hand, let them deal with it unless he ABSOLUTELY feels a need to be there.
Even the Repubs in session agree that progress has been made and that altho nothing is in stone as of yet....it's being handled. No deadlocks no filibusters...everyone is playing nice...so WHY CANCEL?
So again..let's answer this experience question....
Would you rather have a pres who drops everything else to go deal with one problem or a pres who will prioritize and do what's best to handle multiple problems?

I don't see the "why didn't you join me in Washington" attack sticking too much. From what I've seen, McCain isn't going to be able to say he did anything once he got to Washington other than meet with Obama and the president and vote when the time comes.

Exactamundo SIR!!! A great way of 'showing' the public "Hey...I was there" (but I didn't do much except pose for pics while it looked like I was working but...hey HERE I'M IS!!!) I am the Maverick....here to rustle up Congress and save Wall Street's sorry butts from themselves!!!
How did that TV show end BTW? Does anyone remember???
