These are historic times and I am so glad I can log events as they happen here on this blog. Yesterday John McCain said he was putting his campaign on hold to fly back to Washington in order to assist in fixing financial crisis on Wall Street. McCain claimed that he asked Obama to do the same thing and to postpone the debate due to be held tomorrow night on CNN. McCain claimed he suggested they put a bi-partisan statement out together on the economy.

What actually happened was Obama called McCain first at 8:30 in the morning yesterday to talk about a joint statement. He never heard back and McCain went on the air saying it was his idea to put out a joint statement. Once again stealing the democrats ideas. Obama gave his opinion that any president should be capable of handling two things at once and therefor the debates should go ahead.

As of late Thursday McCain's stunt has become something of a joke as both Dems and Republicans feel his efforts are completely pointless. Something akin to a 2 year old helping daddy lift that heavy couch out of the living room. It is nothing more than a publicity stunt. McCain parachuting in to save the day, 'Country First'!

McCain still won't commit to the debate tomorrow night and as of now there is a very real possibility that Obama will be there, along with the audience, the host and an empty seat where John McCain should be.

In the meantime McCain has asked that the Vice Presidential debate be postponed as well. Not even during the American Civil War, 150 years ago, did they postpone a debate. This is another ploy by the desperate Republican nutters to regroup and deflect attention away from their faltering poll numbers and embarrassing campaign.

Palin continues to avoid every media question asked of her, apart from those, correographed by her campaign in special interviews with leading news anchors. What is it they are so afraid of?

The wheels are falling off for McCain and it is great.
