Debates and Bailouts

So Sen. McCain has said that he won’t debate Sen. Obama until Congress has reached a deal on “saving the economy.” Now Dems are whinging that it’s a ploy because they sey that McCain doesn’t want to or is afraid to debate Obama. I agree with Republican sympathizers that this is not the case, that John McCain is more than capable of debating Barack Obama. Here’s my 2¢:
It’s a ploy to either give Palin more time to prepare for her debate against Biden or to continually postpone the VP debates until it’s too late. Palin may be a decent governor, but at best she’ll look like a fool on national TV, and the McCain camp knows it. Anyone remember the televised VP debates from 1992 with Ross Perot’s VP, Vice Adm. Stockdale?

Palin is a disaster.
On the debate last night, I thought it was a draw by debating standards, which favors Obama. McCain’s campaign has been saying all along that foreign policy was McCain’s strong suit. So, Obama making it a draw equals a win for Obama.
I would like to see in future debates a red light on each candidates podium and a fact checker backstage who would flip a switch to light up the red light whenever either candidate states something is a fact when it isn’t.
