I have been watching politics closely since 1972 (as a kid), never can I remember an opposing party failing to comment after the other Party's Convention.
This past Democratic Convention was followed by commentary where usually the other side gets on and trashes the Speeches of opponent's party etc...
This year the Republican Party's official paragraph of response was Paraphrased as: " I don't know, we weren't watching it."
This detached attitude of smugness only shows me that the Republicans are using a new approach this time around.
Notice how they got "All Presidential" for the opening night of their own Party Convention (delaying it to respond to Hurricane Hanna).
They are relying on the apathy and laziness of the American People to retain power by counting on most of us to be of a "Homer Simpson" mindset.
I have a strong feeling McCain will find or conspire to create a situation that will excuse him from facing Obama in a debate.
My Guess is he will hire terrorists to do something to gain sympathy for his "Patriotism" Bla-bla-bla like:
Maybe (this is just a theory): Have a figure like Palin's kid held hostage.
(or something of great importance to his cause like that , that could not be independently verified .
Imagine how easy it would be for something like that to give him a "note from mommy not to participate".
All he would have to do is get Palin to conspire to hide one of her kids, then they could produce a fake note of demands etc... the media coverage alone would turn everyone's attention away from the debates with Obama, and if his side complained they would be called monsters for insisting at such a difficult time.
I can see it now, make Obama out to be the bad guy for demanding that the real issues be heard. The GOP would spin it so Obama's vision is never shared with the world.
