Debate Commission Says Thanks But No Thanks to McCain’s Suggestion

Roll Call reports:

The Commission on Presidential Debates today rejected the proposal of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) to postpone Friday’s debate so he can travel to Washington and help lawmakers craft a bill to bailout Wall Street.

“The plans for this forum have been underway for more than a year and a half,” the Commission said in a statement. “We believe the public will be well served by having all of the debates go forward as scheduled.”
