Now McCain wants to delay the first of the debates. This is quite the political play he's worked here. Obama has to accept this or he'll seem "petty". Palin has yet to field questions from the press in a open forum. They also tinkered with the VP debate to only allow time for a short answer period, to appease the GOP who seem deathly afraid to letting Palin speak her mind.

Even by American standards this election is a sham. McCain says he wants to "set politics aside". Isn't "politics" the whole point here? To have differing ideas debated and discussed in an open forum?
