He said McCain is working the phones tonight, trying to round up the votes...

Yeah, McCain IS trying to round up votes. Votes for POTUS. McCain is a politician. He had nothing to add at the "kum-bay-a" conference he suggested other than his name and another photo-op. The whole delayed debate is nothing more than a political "look-at-me" opportunity seized upon by McCain's advisers. Obama was gaining in the polls steadily until this crisis and McCain's campaign needed some kind of "look-at-me" opportunity. He, himself, has absolutely nothing to contribute to this situation. He doesn't understand this situation from any perspective - liberal or conservative.

He is not going to lose any of HIS houses but I bet his wife is furious, hehehehehe! Her poor individual (and separate) IRS return next year will reflect a few million in losses rather than several million in earned income as it did this past year. He'll still show the same $175K. Ah, but what's a few million here and there anyway?

For the most part, I agree with you. McCain is doing what he does best, playing politics, at a level or two above what poor Obama can compete. He is manipulating the media, and they can’t retaliate quick enough. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing for a Republican to do at the peak of silly season. If McCain pulls it off, people will indeed view it as true leadership, and maybe they will be right. Me and mine have decided to support Palin, and that means supporting McCain. It certainly wasn’t my first choice of things to do, but Obama makes it tolerable.
