Should Obama debate an empty chair on Friday?
If McCain isn’t willing to participate in a debate that has been scheduled and agreed upon for some time, should Obama just take the free air time and debate the empty chair?
Since McCain can’t decide if he wants to be President or not, since he did "suspend" his candidacy, would it make much of a difference?
All the Dem’s need to do is put a cardboard cut-out of McSame in the debate chair, and paste the word "P.O.W." as a caption coming out of his mouth. That would, in essence, fill in for what McSame would be saying if he were there anyway.
He wont have to… I bet McCain "decides" to participate.
He certainly can.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost the debate though.
McCain will lose fewer votes if he avoids the debate.
Whether McCain is present or not it will still be an ‘empty’ chair
McCain will be there. This question is tired and silly
He should stand up, act like a leader, and address us regarding the problems we face. He should lead, not hide out in DC.
He will be debating an empty chair whether McCain decides to show up or not.
McCain is really proving he is an arrogant little man…
THIS CHAIR IS STONEWALLING ME!
I’ll take the chair as the winner of this.
He should debate Ron Paul. It would be great.
Actually, isn’t George Bush showing up to be a stand-in for McCain?
There isn’t much difference.
Well I’d say at least the playing field would be level for obama–debating an empty chair would be about the same skill set.
The host of the debate (according to Headline News) said today that the debate will go on as scheduled even if McCain is not there
McCain will pick one of the two choices: He will say, "Call Me" and have his debate over the phone or he will say, "Not Present." …
All you debate hunger liberal want is for Obama to eat alive McCain in front of the American people. You are the same people that sit there with hate for George W. Bush, but the same time drive a car instead of riding a bicycle. No war for oil right??? No drilling right??? Then all liberal should ride bicycle, then we will plenty oil for all non-liberal and then no War.
i am ok with him taking center stage. maybe he could bring biden along and they could talk to americans about the economy, the war, and health care.
