So McCain is suggesting the swapping the date of the Vice Presidential debate for a Presidential debate. He wants to cancel Friday and debate Obama on Thursday when the VP debates are scheduled.
I think this is the kernel of an excellent idea. I think Obama should agree.
However, a little caveat. Since Ole Miss has already spent millions to host Friday's debate, it would be a crime to waste it. Besides, there are few days left until the election and the American people are making a very important decision. They should not be rushed. And the possibility that a debate may be lost due to scheduling conflict is unacceptable. We need three debates between the Presidential candidates and one between the Vice Presidential candidates.
I propose, Obama send Joe Biden and ask McCain to send Sarah Palin.

I propose, Obama send Joe Biden and ask McCain to send Sarah Palin. Palin is unencumbered with any burden of responsibility on the Wall Street bailout bill, and I'm guessing the Senate can manage without Joe for a few hours, as there are 533 other Congressmen who can get the job done.
After all, that IS essentially the whole reason for having a VP is it not? To step in at a moment's notice when the President is unavailable. It's time to show American which VP candidate can best fulfill that duty.
