Which is exactly why Obama will probably stick to his "being President will require multi-tasking, so we should be able to tackle the issue and still have a debate at the same time" argument. Don't accuse McCain of political posturing, just point out that he shouldn't
have to suspend his campaign to deal with this if he's truly qualified for the job.
I've been unpleasantly shocked by how people react before, but I just feel like this is going to blow up in McCain's face a bit. It stinks of desperation. Although, case in point, so did his selection of Sarah Palin, and she brought him some additional support there for a while, so who knows?
And Troy McClure - you beat me to it. I was coming here to post the Letterman stuff. I can't wait to watch the show tonight....
EDIT - Hmmmm...and how convenient that this campaign suspension would also mean
pushing the VP debates later. Does someone need a bit more time to study perhaps?
