Obama is expected to call for the debate to go on as planned. Reid said both men returning to their Senate jobs will 'risk injecting presidential politics into this process. ....We need leadership, not a campaign photo op,' Reid said." (SunTimes)

I say let Biden and Palin have the debate on Friday. Without much warning, then we'd really get to see what Palin is made of.
I know that a lot of journalists read this blog, so let's do it! Push, push, push! Make it happen! We don't have much more than 24 hours to go, but there's time.
it's going to happen. I'd love to take credit for it, but McCain has steeled himself against the journo class. And something tells me he always anticipated this outcome, perhaps to deprive Obama of a day of debate prep. Who knows with Senator McErratic.
