John McCain’s latest stunt is to suggest postponing tomorrow night’s debate so that he and Obama can deal with the financial crisis. Last week he said the fundamentals of our economy were strong. Now he’s acting the the roof is falling, and Sarah Palin has apparently concluded that we face another Great Depression without this bailout.
Meanwhile, it looks like the McCain campaign might try to use this as an excuse to scuttle the VP debate.
McCain supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there’s no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.
Have we reached the point of absurdity yet? Can anyone defend John McCain and Sarah Palin with a straight face?
