    Is McCain suspending his campaign because he's scared to debate a superior intelligence or does he really think he can save the economy?
    Did I spell all of that correctly? :?::lol:

    grampy mac tells someone to f-off in 3, 2, 1...

    he's definitely scared to get in front of a crowd without a script against a superior speaker/intellect-- especially if the topic of the economy is bound to come up. did you hear his latest quote about the "economy growing itself out a problem to make a bigger government, i mean economy, or bigger government so that the economy..." he's losin' it.

    as for palin, she couldn't win a debate against an average fifth-grader.

    As an obvious BO supporter how can you sight Krugman. Paul Krugman is a very smart, and i used his text book in an international trade economics class is took in college, but...

    In the 2008 Presidential campaign, Krugman came under criticism from liberal bloggers after he offered repeated criticism of Democratic candidate Barack Obama and his supporters. The Huffington Post[33] and several other progressive blogs[34] particularly criticized one of Krugman's columns in which he characterized Obama supporters as 'cult-like', complained that the media had not given Obama sufficient scrutiny, and claimed that a special set of 'Clinton Rules' applied to the Clintons and not to others like Obama. The bloggers described what they alleged were close ties between Krugman and the Clintons, and wrote that his commentary was lopsided in this regard against Barack Obama. The Times' entire "Letters to the Editor" column of February 13, 2008 was given over to discussion of Krugman's controversial column.[35] In his New York Times blog, Krugman scathingly denounced speculations that he had been offered or would accept any position in a Hillary Clinton administration, stating that he is "temperamentally unsuited to politics"
