Ready on Day One?

All along, Sen. McCain has been insisting that he is the candidate with the experience to be President of this country, that he's the one that will be "ready on Day One."

Oh, really?

Then why is he avoiding the scheduled debate this Friday with Sen. Obama? He claims it is so he can hurry back to Washington to help with solving the economic crisis. Never mind that he hasn't been back to Washington for a single vote in more than 5 months. Or that Congressional leaders have publicly stated that they don't need (or want) either Senator to come back off the campaign trail.

Looks to me like he's just scared that he won't look good in a debate where he has to admit to the American people that he would just continue the policies of the last administration. Especially since the topic of this debate is foreign policy, where he might have to defend his suggestion that we might be in Iraq for another 100 years.

And now the McCain campaign wants to delay Gov. Palin's debate with Sen. Biden, as well. Since there's no plausible connection between Palin and the proposed bailout being debated in Washington, this delay looks even more suspicious.

Coupled with her refusal to answer a single question from reporters, more than three weeks after she was named as the candidate for VP, it simply looks like she's not capable of handling the responsibilities of that office.

Looks more and more like neither of these two are, or would be, "ready on Day One."
