Affirmative Action is on the table at Wednesday's Debate
Count on it. Schaffer and Co will think they are being really clever in playing the race card by bringing up a policy question, meant only to bring up a discussion of race. McCain will look amused but concerned and Obama will crush both McCain and Schaeffer when he explains he is for poor white kids getting help and draw an extra 3-5% in the polls because of it.

1. I think Obama should simply cancel it.
There's nothing to gain at this point. McCain can't really go lower than about 40% nationally. Obama won't get more than 56% to 57%. They are both near those numbers now (not as polled, but in reality).

What's to gain by debating the asshole again?

2. Supreme entertainment. lol
Look, for a lot of people, this is the only chance they get to see these guys side by side. It may be late to change minds at this point, especially with early voting under way, but it'll still be fun to watch.

5. No way he can cancel
and its time to convict the Republican philosophy and make McWorse accountable.

Never stop taking the fight to them.
