Why would McCain delay the campaign............?

AT THE LAST MINUTE?

I know that the economic crisis need to be addressed, but um..........how long has this crisis been around?

Are'nt presidential debates planned in advance?

Why would he back out at now?

Update:

From a neutral point of view, that action could affect his votes in a negative way....

Update 2:

Delaying planned appointments at the last minute is one of my major pet peeves.........

    I am not sure why you are asking here. Did you not hear him speak? Maybe it will be on CNN or YouTube for you to watch. You may not agree with him, but he explained his reason fully and completely answered your question already.

    People are seeing him in a negative way more and more. The Debate council has already said it will go on and Obama said a President has to be a multi-tasker, in other words it's a lame excuse he thinks will make Americans think "what a guy", but in reality it will just bring him down more.

    What part of "HE HAS WORK TO DO" do you not understand? Oh that's right, you're a liberal democrat and you think that the government needs to pay everyone without working. That's so typical Obama and other liberals. No wonder Obama is losing this election.

    President McCain has already won.

    He has had a pattern of lieing & doing things out of his fear. He is not prepared to debate a Harvard Law graduate. He looked good on the day of the Rick Warren forum cause Obama just back from Hawaii & probably had jet lag & was not his normal sefl but this thing he is doing now is a stunt....they don't need him now & they are not ready to rush into anything so it is ridiculous.

    Ever see a cartoon where two characters are tossing a lit bomb back and forth trying not to be the guy holding it when it goes off.

    I think at this point the GOP finally realizes the size of the mess and are just going to leave it to blow up.

    Politics pure and simple. A political move we will see if it is a good one or bad one very soon.
