It's on!
CNN Breaking News: "Sen. John McCain will participate in tonight's presidential debate."
Sargent: "The campaign suspension that never actually happened is now over."
I will be live-blogging, and there will be a live-chat, too. Come by around 8:30 PM EDT and we'll get the party started!
P.S. Other liveblog titles considered:
"The P.O.W. vs. the Community Organizer, Round 1"
"McCain-Obama Celebrity Deathmatch, Part 1"
"But Not To Mississippoli: McCain-Obama I"
(That last reference is explained here, for the non-Lehrer-initiated.)
UPDATE: LOL! "Is there an upside to McCain's failed gambit? The only one I can think of is that it has seriously lowered expectations for how he'll perform tonight. After McCain's less than stellar last couple of days, pundits will shower him with praise if he manages to stay on the stage for the full 90 minutes instead of dashing off in the middle of the debate with the excuse that he has to go rescue a cat from a tree."
