McCain's Bottom Line: No Deal = No Debate

Source: Marc Ambinder

A senior campaign official says that McCain will NOT debate -- no matter what -- if Congress hasn't reached an agreement on a bailout package.

The aide said that Obama's refusal to suspend his campaign will have no bearing on McCain's decision to attend the debate.

The aide did not know whether Gov. Palin would attend Oct. 2's vice presidential debate if Congress, by that point, still hasn't reached a deal.

Another aide said: "The VP debate is days off. We're focused on getting a deal and getting to the debate on Friday."
