Move the *VP* debate up to friday
Per suggestion from abroad:

"So McCain wants to postpone friday's debate and return to DC? Fine.

Move the VP debate up to friday. Then we'll see if she's ready to step up when McCain's too busy or too stressed to multitask.

Call his bluff, Dems."

If Gramps can't deal with the stress he needs to resign right now.

7. Don't move shit.
Gramp's grandstanding, like that of a two year old, is best not given in to.

Once again Democrats line up and volunteer to look weak under the misguided belief that they are dealing with people who are being fair and reasonable.

6. Now it makes sense
Palin is as prepared as she'll ever be, while Biden will not yet have been coached on the fine details. They want to move the veep debate and see if they can catch Biden flat footed.

That'd be a bad gamble on their part.

4. Yep call their bluff
Since she is only a heartbeat away she should be able to handle a debate.

I think your idea is great.

5. Great idea, but that's the last thing they want
I believe that they are looking for an excuse to postpone the vp debate indefinately.

8. Biden should get right out there with the offer to Palin
Take the initiative and make it look like we're trying to help McCain and Obama work on this important legislation. Joe will of course fly to DC at a moments notice to vote if necessary.
