McCain will Debate
Senator John McCain has decided to debate with Barack Obama Friday night in Mississippi according to CNN.
McCain originally dropped out of the debate to help with legislation on the financial crisis. He know believes enough progress has been made and he will debate.
Both McCain and Obama plan to return to Washington after the debates.
Senior advisers to McCain told CNN that it was politically crucial that McCain show up at the debate in Mississippi. Fellow lawmakers do not believe he has contributed much to the financial debate.
Senator Obama had always planned on attending the debate, and an alternate format was being discussed in case McCain did not debate.
“My strong sense is that the best thing that I can do, rather than to inject presidential politics into some delicate negotiations, is to go down to Mississippi and explain to the American people what is going on and my vision for leading the country over the next four years,� said Obama in the New York Times article on this situation.. “I’m looking forward to the debate and look forward after the debate to coming back to Washington and hopefully getting a package done.�
