#1 "Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday backed away from rival John McCain's challenge for a series of joint appearances, agreeing only to the standard three debates in the fall."

Brrawk! Chicken. [Also, insert "p" synonym for "cat" here to get around the filters.]

"We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama's magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he'll reconsider"

Yee-ouch! That's gonna leave a mark on Mr. Flip-Flop. :-D

#2 He knows if he gets off his prepared speech, he will fumble and bumble around and not look good. McCain is counting on this.

#3 Wait, wasn't this bo's idea to have a series of debates? People, if he can't debate McCain in the run-ups and confuses hollywood celebrities with Clinton when tired (already) then what the heck is he going to do in a meeting with Putin to tell him his election rhetoric was 'just words'?

This guy is an ass. I wouldn't even hire him to sell used cars never mind running the country. If he were a local he would be called a loudmouthed chickenshit.

#4 Gawd, I wish we could shitcan McPain and have a real candidate for the opposing party. This could be a runaway from this useless turd Hussein. McPain is so weak at oratory and Axelrod recognizes it. These "debates" are no such thing. They have no resemblance to debating. They are only a series of chestnuts served up by numbnuts on a panel and will give great advantage to Barry because all topics/questions will have been reviewed in advance. McPain's only chance was an extemporaneous mode like a townhall where BO could not prepare long, idiot responses in advance. Now McPain is looking at Cantor for V. P. ? The worst possible choice. He may get Jewish votes in NY & Florida, but Cantor is a corporatist on the take from K-Street donors and this will not show well to the general electorate.To save his dumb ass, McPain, more than ever, needs someone fluent and intelligent to attack, attack, attack the stupid Demo policies in general and Hussein in particular. Romney could do this well. Others could also. Apparently, McPain can't or won't. He should be putting down real hurt on the empty suit now. Not just schmoozing along and wasting valuable time to cement impressions in the voting public's mind. These people are dumb and hard to make an impression on. It takes time to impalnt a notion and have it sink in to these bimbos' brains. And McPain is letting time slip by. If the Senate goes Demo, we are going to have real problems. San Fran Nan already has the House by the nuts and what we can see coming there is outright scary.
