The people have the right to hear from both of these leaders as to how they will solve this crisis. They absolutely cannot put this off.
How am I supposed to decide who to vote for if I don't see them rise to a challenge in a difficult time and tell me how they plan on fixing this? With billions of dollars of our money on the line, I want to see them say how they are going to take care of us.
I think McCain has made a mistake in putting this off. It would be best to allow Americans to see both of them in the middle of a crisis.

HA, that is funny... McCain's poll numbers are in FREE FALL... and he wants to call a time out? Give me a break.
If McCain can't handle the economic AND do a debate we should all question his ability to handle a crisis while president. What a JOKE!!

McCain the concern citizen now, it is interesting that he would want to cancelled a scheduled debate that he himself requested. How long does he proposed the suspension of the campaign...5 weeks? That would be great for him because during that time it also eliminate anyone interested in getting to know his VP pick and she can squeek untouched and unchallanged. If this is not a Bush tactic I dont know what....Do as I say and dont question me and if you do opposite we will bury you alive. Question is would McCain support this initiative if Obama would have purposed it?

I hope people are really looking at what's going on. The debate is for the public to see instead of rhetoric in campaign material. McCain knows full well that he's not ready to state his case for the country.
We are not stupid sir.

IF YOUR NAME IS BARACK YOU'RE A RADICAL UNPATRIOTIC MUSLIM.
NAME YOUR KIDS WILLOW, TRIG & TRACK YOU'RE A MAVERICK.
GRADUATE FROM HARVARD LAW SCHOOL YOU ARE UNSTABLE.
ATTEND 5 DIFFERENT SMALL COLLEGES BEFORE GRADUATING, YOU'RE WELL GROUNDED.

IF YOUR WIFE IS A HARVARD GRADUATE LAWYER WHO GAVE UP A POSOITION IN A PRESTIGIOUS LAW FIRM TO WORK FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HER COMMUNITY, THEN GAVE THAT UP TO RAISE A FAMILY, YOUR FAMILY'S VALUES DON'T REPRESENT AMERICA'S.

I believe the debate should go on. I agree with Obama that a statement should be individually submitted with their plans, ideas and/or suggestions to contribute a solution to the financial market crisis.

I would simply ENJOY seeing Palin and Obama debate - she's dumb as a doorknob, and he is is going to make her look even dumber.
