isn't right here right now

EXACTLY when you want to hear the people who could be your next president? don't you want to know what they are going to DO about this crisis? (hopefully NOT give 700 billion to the people who CAUSED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE)

at any rate, sure i think both barack and mccevil SHOULD take time to DO SOMETHING about this crisis. to participate, to think, to talk, to help. HOWEVER, a debate takes a couple of hours. the prep takes a while, sure. let's say a DAY. traveling and the like

mccevil, i NEED NOW MORE THAN EVER TO HEAR WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME AND OUR COUNTRY

McCain suspends campaign, wants to delay debate until after bailout vote
Muriel Kane and Dave Edwards
John McCain has said he will suspend his presidential campaign Thursday and wants to postpone Friday's scheduled debate with Democratic candidate Barack Obama to return to Washington and work on a solution to the financial crisis gripping the country.

Obama said he was caught off guard by McCain's televised proposal and insisted that the American people deserved to hear the two candidates outline their economic proposals during their first side-by-side appearance.

"It's my belief that this is exactly the time that the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess," Obama said. "I think that it is going to be part of the president's job to be able to deal with more than one thing at once.......

Clinton-Obama Debate: ABC Decides Top Issues Facing Americans Are Gaffes, Flag Pins and '60s Radicals
By Greg Mitchell
NEW YORK In perhaps the most embarrassing performance by the media in a major presidential debate in years, ABC News hosts Charles Gibson and George Stephanopolous focused mainly on trivial issues as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama faced off in Philadelphia.Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the health care and mortgage crises, the overall state of the economy and dozens of other pressing issues had to wait for their few moments in the sun as Obama was pressed to explain his recent "bitter" gaffe and relationship with Rev. Wright (seemingly a dead issue) and not wearing a flag pin while Clinton had to answer again for her Bosnia trip exaggerations. Then it was back to Obama to defend his slim association with a former '60s radical -- a question that came out of rightwing talk radio and Sean Hannity on TV, but delivered by former Bill Clinton aide Stephanopolous. This approach led to a claim that Clinton's husband pardoned two other '60s radicals. And so on.More time was spent on all of this than segments on getting out of Iraq and keeping people from losing their homes and other key issues. Gibson only got excited when he complained about anyone daring to raise taxes on his capital gains. .........

Disastrous Debate reprise

Wow. What the hell was that? Seriously, I'm a bit stunned. The level of discourse has reached a new low -- a very new low. To be clear, I don't think the debate was a disaster for Obama. He did fine. I think it was a disaster for our political system. It was the worst debate ever. Gibson and Stephanopoulos were horrible. The questions were literally right out of right wing talk radio. Atrios provides an opportunity for action:

here And, for Hillary Clinton to get so giddy about the Wright question was really just sad. She was the official purveyor of fringe talking points. Shockingly so. And, she seemed to enjoy it. There's a reason people think Clinton is dishonest as we saw today in the findings of the Washington Post-ABC News poll. She's not only in this to win, she's in it to win dirty -- and to destroy Obama. She invoked Louis Farrakhan tonight for no reason -- just to say it. Give me a break. Throughout this campaign, Clinton has pursued GOP attacks against Obama. He has not gone there against her. ........
