Yes this Isn't that a characteristic of leadership, being able to multi-task.

One would think that as President McCain would not have the luxury of saying "OK I'll drop everything to work specifically on one problem." Surely the job is about solving multiple problems almost all the time.

I just wanted to add in that people here in Mississippi are PISSED about him trying to dodge the debate. The state has spent a ton of money getting the town of Oxford and campus of Ole Miss (where the debate is to be held) prepared for Friday night. A LOT of effort and planning has gone into preparing for this debate.

Default Now McCain camp to propose postponing VP debate

Just saw this on CNN that McCain campaign proposes that the VP debate be delayed. What on earth next? Delay the election.

What possible justification could the Republican Party have for delaying the VP debate?

Precisely what would Governor Palin be doing that would take priority?

It seems like the GOP is trying every excuse to limit the exposure of McCain and Palin from venues they can't control.

That is why I think this stunt by McCain will backfire on him. Confessing an inability to handle two separate tasks is not the way to inspire confidence in his leadership abilities.

I can only think that McCain will use this as an excuse for not doing well in the debates. "I was distracted working on real world problems instead"

A very transparent stunt and anyone past 8th grade would see through this.

Perhaps the only thing "President" McCain could focus on is war? Someone has to break the bad news to him that the President handles more things than just fighting a war.

All the President does is multi-task. I seriously doubt that the President ever has the luxury of working only one issue at a time.
