Obama Adviser: We're Inclined To Go Ahead With Debate

Asked how the Obama campaign will respond to McCain's call for a delay in the debate, an Obama adviser emails: "We're inclined to do the debate."

Obama will make a public statement on this shortly -- it'll be interesting to see if Obama calls on McCain to do the debate on other terms. For instance, he could invite McCain to make the debate about the economy, rather than about national security.

1. Yes, the debate must go on

We need the debate now more than ever. Enough of the attack ads. Let us finally hear how intelligent Obama sounds next to McCain.

2. I say he doesn't back down

Tell McCain he is showing up Friday with or without him there.

3. "Make the debate about the economy, rather than about national security"

I like this idea. If McCain thinks we need to focus on the economy right now, well then let's have the debate focus on the economy. Having to debate the economy right now would scare McCain more than anything else, but he totally set himself up for this.
