According to CNN, McCain's friend and spokesperson, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Land That Time & Modernity Forgot, er. S.C.-- I kid friends from the Great White North) announced that the McCain campaign will lobby the Presidential Debate Commission to cancel Friday's debate, reschedule it for Tuesday, and then cancel the Vice Presidential Debate. The VP Debate will be "rescheduled."
The McCain campaign announced that McCain will not debate if a deal is not announced. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), someone who is working on the bailout and knows something about economic policy, stated on Race to the White House that a deal will happen but it will not happen by Friday.
I am beginning to think that there may not be any debates. Or press conferences by Palin/ McCain. Or interviews. Or any public gathering in front of a non-partisan audience.
Essentially, the McCain campaign is rejecting any form of information exchanges that occurs in a democracy where the people, sometimes through the press, can challenge and question their rulers.
This is terrible. Absurd, really. If this is their campaign, I cannot imagine what their presidency would look like.
No, I can imagine. It would be worse than the one we have now: the absolute rejection of accountability.

Great writeup solon. Wow. The scariness meter is overflowing.
Harrogate still dismisses people who have been saying that Bush and Cheney will cancel the elections. But now those voices last just a bit longer in his head, than they did in the Spring.
But, what's worse than not having an election? We, the People, rewarding McCain for his behavior, and electing him President of the United States.
And McCain's scariness meter goes to eleven.
