So, Remember, how until today 11 am ET, McCain was not going to Debate until the deal went through? Well, if you needed more proof of this blatant political stunt, McCain campaign has web ads out saying he has won the Debate...BEFORE the debate has even happened.

Look at this pic:

So:
1.) McCain planned to attend the Debate all along.
2.) McCain pulled his stunt not only for Political Reasons but because his Campaign was going to the shitter.
3.) He took the MSM narrative away form the dreadful Palin-Couric interview and from the ties of Rick Davis (his campaign manager) to Fennie and Freddie Mac.
4.) The Campaign is already ready with Ads to say that McCain won the debate, before the debate happens, because their need to lie to the American people has not died down.
5.) McCain put cold water over the Bailout Deal because if the deal had passed, more people would have been interested in the debate, now there is a good chance people will be interested more in what is going on with the deal.

Update

This is what the McCain campaign wanted to pull attention away from:

1. He's such a maverick.

:spray:

:rofl:

I really can't wait until tonight. Now that the horse has been forcibly led to water, will he be able to drink?

2. This is the ultimate in hilarious. McCain didn't even win the debate with himself!

I'm still waiting for him to explain why he's showing up when he said he wouldn't if we didn't have a bailout deal.

3. Amazing, isn't it?

4. "how McCain intends to deal with the nation's economic crisis -- they've invented time travel."

And now we know how McCain intends to deal with the nation's economic crisis -- they've invented time travel.

Having come up with technology so advanced McCain can win the debate before he even announced whether he'd show up for the debate, the Republican team is ready to go on to their brilliant plan to save the nation from its current fiscal crisis. The McCain campaign isn't putting out all the details, but it involves sending Sarah Palin back in time with a moose rifle. If McCain economic adviser Phil Gramm suddenly vanishes into a puff of smoke, you know she's been successful.

8. Is it safe to say that ALL of the wheels on the bus have fallen off? Mccain=Failing. nt

6. Consider this, knowing the bail-out plan is apposed by

better than 70% of the voters. What if McCain comes out against the plan and says the Wall Street crooks should pay for it. He could play up to the vast majority and come out smelling like a rose. I don't trust these SOBs.

9. "What if McCain comes out against the plan and says the Wall Street crooks should pay for it."

McKeatingFive's is going to say his official campaign team should pay for it?
