John McCain’s attempt at playing politics with the financial crisis has failed. Polls showed most voters thought McCain should debate as planned, and all McCain accomplished was getting David Letterman mad at him (here and here). McCain has now agreed to show up for the debate, and even before announcing this had already started placing internet ads claiming that he won the debate (screen shot here). The lack of disconnect between reality and what comes from the McCain campaign is just amazing.
Mission Accomplished!
Why is Ralph Nader excluded? The debates in current form are a charade.
Nader? What point would it serve having him there? If they were to open up the debate to people who have no chance of winning I’d be more interested in seeing Bob Barr than Nader.
