Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
McCain is "still undecided" about the debate? IT'S TONIGHT. MAKE A FUCKING DECISION.
After 8 years of Bush's making a decision and sticking with it no matter how bone-headed, perhaps McCain thinks this will highlight the molecule-thin difference between them.
ETA: Heh—Bush-the-Decider Xpost.
And it's not really like McCain. he doesn't mull over answers in interviews or in debates - he answers. It's one of those things people who like him LIKE about him. Obama is the one who will think through an answer and will not just give the soundbite. WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD? everything is fuddled up.
I think McCain should give Obama an hour of free tv in front of a national audience on 3 or 4 of the networks plus several basic cable stations.
It could be an hour long interview with Jim Lehrer. Or possibly a combo interview and Q&A with the audience.
And it's not really like McCain.
Some news person or other said it looked like McCain was falling apart right in front of us. Perhaps the stress of the campaign and/or his age is aggravating some health problems.

Not everything! Special for Steph, but others will appreciate as well: [link]

Isn't that, like, against the FCC regs, or something? Would that mean McCain would then later have to get an hour of free time in return?? Is THAT what he's angling for?
In retrospect, I think we should have named this thread Natter 61: It's the end of the world as we know it, and we're having a watch-n-post
Sadly, sir, I believe you are correct.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Matilda! She's off at daycare, and I am celebrating with a mug of TheraFlu and a general feeling of nonspecific crappitude. We're still about an hour away from the actual moment of birth; at this moment two years ago at exactly this moment, I was waiting for an OR to open up and fighting off horrible neck cramps.

I wonder how many votes in the vicinity of the Ole Miss campus he'll lose if he blows it off; everything I've read says the local economy has been counting on a big debate-related boost for months now.
Obama has said that if McCain doesn't show for the debate, he'll have a town-hall and take questions from the audience. Whether the networks, radio, etc., will carry it live is another question.
Oh, and Happy Birthday to Matilda!!!

IIRC, the Repubs got rid of the equal-time rule several years ago. Nice if it'll bite them in the ass tonight!
I forgot about the equal time thing.
ETA: excellent.
