Having this AP story posted on your campaign website is beyond stupid.

McCain Agrees to Attend Debate in Mississippi
By Nedra Pickler, Associated Press
September 26, 2008

Article Excerpts:


McCain had also said he would suspend all campaign activities, but in reality the campaign just shifted to Washington while the work of trying to win the election went on.

McCain had taken a gamble with the move, trying to appear above politics and as a leader on an issue that had overshadowed the presidential campaign and given him trouble. But Democratic rival Barack Obama had not bowed to McCain's challenge, and instead questioned why the Republican nominee couldn't handle two things at once -- the debate and involvement in the bailout negotiations.

By Friday morning, it appeared McCain was looking for a face-saving way to get to the debate even though a deal had not been reached. He met with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, before heading to his campaign headquarters and issuing a statement that blamed others in Washington for the failure to reach an agreement.

4. Have you ever looked at the campaign site's "Blog"
And I use the term "Blog" very loosely...

It has TONS of negative McCain comments on it... apparently nobody over there is paying any attention.
