I tried posting this last night, but apparently me posting broke the internet. Oops.
So after calling and canceling on Letterman because he was suspending his campaign completely-he went over to Katie Couric's show for an interview. And I suppose McCain's definition of suspending a campaign is different than mine, because instead of being in Washington first thing yesterday morning he was STILL in New York at the Clinton Global Initiative. He still had his campaign offices open and his ads attacking Obama still ran on TV, despite McCain saying they would not.
And Palin's been rocking the interview's lately:

"Palin struggled at times and appeared less comfortable than in her earlier sit-down with ABC's Charles Gibson. When Couric asked why she cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of her foreign policy experience, Palin said: "It's funny that a comment like that was kinda made to . . . I don't know, you know . . . reporters -- "
"Mocked?" Couric asked.
"Mocked, yeah I guess that's the word, mocked."
Pressed on why her location enhanced her foreign policy experience, Palin said: "Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of." She added that when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin "rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska."
Asked whether her lack of a passport until last year indicated a lack of curiosity about the world, Palin said she was not one of those "kids who perhaps graduate college and their parents give them a passport and give them a backpack and say, 'Go off and travel the world.' No, I've worked all my life. In fact, I usually had two jobs all my life until I had kids." She said she learned about the world through education and books."
I'm glad it looks like the debates will go ahead as planned, and that the V.P. debates won't be postponed, or even worse, canceled.
