1. Or else McCain sits at home

While Obama answers more questions about lapel pins and Jeremiah Wright.

[leftofcool]

2. Yea, all by himself with no media coverage

[Liberal In Texas]

3. Yep, the Corporate Media will run something else instead. n/t

[shadowknows69]

8. Too much time and money is invested in one of these events

It will be televised.

4. I'm hoping that no matter what happens,

C-Span continues coverage. That's the channel I'll have on.

5. I'd love to see that. Obama and the moderator sitting in two chairs on the

stage, conversing, with the two empty podiums behind them. That would be great. He could be asked the same questions they'd planned for the debate, plus audience questions. I think this would be spectacular for Obama - hope it works out that way.

I don't see them canceling it. There are people who are going to show up, the press corps is en route, advertising time has been purchased.

Hope I'm right.

6. I bet he will be there...the deal will be semi done...and he will try the

white knight approach....its political theater

[shadowknows69]

7. Even his own party has said his little stunt to washington was pointless and damaging

He's got no theater to act in. He left his makeup girl at the Couric show.

9. I was so angry this morning I could have spit. Chuck Todd in answer

to Mika's question about what will happen if mcsame doesn't show tonight, Todd said that there would be some sort of townhall meeting but nobody will televise it! Why is Sen. Obama penalized for doing what he promised to do and get no media coverage? Then, mcsame wins or moves the scenario up a notch to try to re-schedule for Thursday in lieu of the vp debate (like he's been trying to do).

12. If no one televised it then it's time to go to these "News" shows corporate HQ's

And tear them to the ground brick by fucking brick.

[snappyturtle]

13. I hear you and was thinking in a like way....fortunately, we don't now have to do that. nt

10. Well, for a cool $5 million.

He has to pay the bill if McAncient bails.

[dysfunctional press]

11. george snuffleophegus is giving mccain HIS own town hall on sunday morning on "This Weak".
