Isn't it a little early for McCain to be throwing the hail Mary pass?

I mean his polls must just be collapsing for him to try a stunt like this. It doesn't make him look presidential. A president can handle more than one problem at a time. I truly think Obama should call his bluff and challenge McCain debate him on the housing/wall street collapse.

1. Democracy doesnt grind to a halt in an emergency,

McCain is just showing he can't handle two things at once.

4. I agree, it does not.

Can you imagine the response if Obama issued such a breathtakingly hubristic statement as McCain's? I shudder to think!

2. This is his second hail Mary

The first one was Palin and the ball was fumbled on the 20 yard line. Now poor Johnny is scrambling around in the backfield hoping to find an open receiver. McCain is about to be sacked.

3. No.

Yeah, it's the third quarter.

But they're fifty points behind.

With Obama's polls so much higher than McCains, and decreasing, going into a debate with somebody who has no good position on any issue...

this is the last chance McCain has of turning this race around.

In all probability, this will be the week historians will decide Obama put this race away.
