McCain Ad Infinitum

UPDATE BELOW

Apparently they forgot to tell him the Paulson plan has been off the table for three days and that they're close to a deal on a new one. As early as today, apparently. Which, uh, kinda means he needs to be at the debate, right? "Unnamed campaign source" tells NYT that, yeah, he'll probably be there. Also, Haley Barbour, infinitely corrupt Republican guv of Mississippi and Ole Miss itself weren't happy about cancellation.
Obama was gonna get two hours of free prime time to take questions from Jim Lehrer and the audience. Guess they didn't consider that possibility.

Andrew Sullivan taps into Jessica Hagy's commentary.

UPDATE: Headline shouls have read "McGuffin" for the distraction Hitchcock liked to fool us with. Rumor has it Dems are preparing for the possibility that McCain will vote agains any plan and that was the whole purpose of this farce from the beginning.
