Obama vs. McCain -- 41 days to go. Deal or No Deal?

The campaign was taken to new levels of drama when John McCain "suspended" his campaign to offer his help with the bail-out proposal before Congress. His tactic failed when his calculation that a "deal" would be reached fell apart. He bet that if he advised the President to invite Barack Obama and the congressional leaders to the White House, and a successful deal was reached, then he could claim credit for taking the lead in calling everyone together in the interest of "country first."

What happened was a gathering at the White House, where the key decision makers were presented with a "Deal or No Deal", and the answer was "No Deal." This left McCain with no alternative proposal of his own, a group of "maverick Republicans" in the House who killed the deal, and exposure of his stunt as an empty tactic which produced no results.

The other "Deal or No Deal" he now must confront is the first Presidential Debate.

Now, he is in the position of having to answer the question -- "Debate or No Debate?" Will he show up? Will his latest stunt sabotage his campaign?

What do you think?

I think that he is about the most sorriest person that have attempted to gain the post of President since Bush, after careful observation I find him to be a person without substance and or moral backbone. I think that Viet Nam took all that he had and may have replace his way of thinking as a mole for the republic. Think about it!!!
Oh yea the Debate he seems fearful and unwilling to be confronted directly. Just a thought

The Maverick isn't talking tough now and that's for sure! He has no choice, but to debate tonite and explain why his party killed the deal. I like the way things are looking. More of the same with McCain left to answer why the economy is bust.
