Desperately Flailing McCain

Ben Smith of Politico has a good point. The only thing that's changed in the last 48 hours has been the poll numbers! So why does McCain really want to delay the debate and stop campaigning? What, he can't multitask?!

I hope Obama doesn't take the bait. Go ahead, agree to a joint statement on the bailout bill, meet with Bush, and negotiate in Washington over the final legislative package. Then on Friday evening, how about a debate on the economy? I hope Obama makes this suggestion.

If anything, we need to know MORE about where the candidates stand on the economy... Not less! So why is McCain afraid to debate on the economy? What's he hiding? In these tough times, we need a leader with real solutions... Not a politician with cheap stunts.
