Obama benefits

I was looking at pollster.com today and something caught my eye right away. It was talking about the debate that is going to air tonight. They were talking about cancelling it. I guess there are issues about the economic crisis for the bailout proposal, which I have noticed a lot of students have blogged on. Right now no one is sure who will most likely succeed in the debate tonight, but I know that it will be a close one. Right now the standings are that Obama has an overall 46% and I believe McCain is overall at 42% in the national standings. There is a poll at pollster.com about who will benefit the most and according to the poll people believe that if the debate is cancelled Obama will benefit the most with a 52% but McCain will only benefit with 25%. 18% of the people come to believe that neither one of the candidates will benefit.
McCain has been refusing to debate tonight until there has been a deal compromised for the bailout. But Barack Obama still wants to debate, he says there are still issues they can debate and discuss.
I think the idea that McCain does not want to debate tonight shows that he is unable to handle multiple things at once. But then again Obama has compassion. I think he has compassion for what is happening with the bailout by showing he still wants to go ahead with the debate. Both candidates need this debate to help with their elections and campaigns. I do find it interesting though that many people believe Obama would benefit if it was cancelled, and the idea that he is the one that still wants to go through with it. Shouldn't it be the other way around?? Or does Obama just see the debate as another obstacle in his path to achieving the ultimate goal--The Presidency?
