What will happen if John McCain is a no show, and the debate essentially becomes a forum on foreign policy and town hall for Obama? 86% of American's said in the SurveyUSA poll that they want the debate to go on Friday. If McCain doesn't show up, I think that would sink McCain in the polls.
Then I become the nominee automatically and you guys will have to vote for me, even though we disagree on many issues. Either that or I'm banning your asses.
What exactly has McCain "suspended" anyway? I see him doing interviews, his campaign is on TV attacking Obama, his ads are still on TV... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say McCain will be at the debate.
He should just quit. Not showing up to the debate would be political suicide. Obama would be able to brand him as a coward, which would immediately evaporate that "bravery, heroic" luster of McCain.
CNN is reporting he will debate tonight edit: now with a link: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/26/debate.mississippi/index.html
