The debate commission has just announced that all systems are still a go for the debate. In his speech less than an hour ago, Senator Obama also said he wants the debate to happen. It looks like it will.
When McCain's whole stunt came out this afternoon, my one question was if the commission would have the guts to call McCain's bluff. They did. This should not be a surprise given how long it took to set the debates up. Furthermore, this is a big deal in Mississippi, and Ole Miss obviously would have been furious if the thing were moved or canceled. I think the commission probably considered these issues.
Mark it down: John McCain will be there. His campaign might bitch and whine tonight and tomorrow, but he will be there. There is no way they would cede a national audience and a platform to bash McCain. If McCain pulled a no-show and bashed Obama's "politics" for debating alone, he would still be the loser. The stage is too big and too much is at stake for McCain here. I would be shocked if he didn't show up.
