In the latest bizarre twist to afflict this year's Presidential elections, John McCain has called for tomorrow's Presidential debate to be postponed; Obama is refusing. How is this going to turn out?

[Poll #1266740]

Intrade have a market open on this

Update:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican John McCain says he's going to be at the first presidential debate, even though Congress doesn't have a bailout deal. With less than 10 hours until the debate was scheduled to start, the McCain campaign announced that the Arizona senator would travel to the University of Mississippi. The campaign said after the forum he will fly back to Washington to continue working on the financial crisis. — AP Top News at 11:40 a.m. EDT

I also don't understand why anyone thinks it will be a win for McCain. Surely Obama is in a much stronger position due to the financial catastrophe now...

Depends on the demographic of ABC viewers, doesn't it?

I think the purpose of this stunt is to lower expectations for McCain, so he can be considered to win if he just shows up.

It's looking less and less Santos-Vinick and more Bartlet-Richie every day. (Yes, I know I'm obsessed...)

Was Richie the one who said, "Crime, huh!" or something (after the SS guy got shot), and Bartlet said, "That's when I decided I was going to crush you"? Or some such. I should watch it all again.

BARTLET: In the future, if you're wondering, "Crime. Boy, I don't know" is when I decided to kick your ass.
