Which John McCain will show up to debate?

With his campaign on the rocks, McCain could hit reset one more time and abandon civility in his final showdown with Barack Obama.

    re-set or time out

    Maybe I'm missing the mark but "McCain version 2.2, since he already restarted his campaign last summer, then twice suspended it this fall in response to a hurricane and the economic collapse".

    This doesn't sound like as reset as much as he needed a "time out". Correct me if I'm wrong but can we afford to have another president who takes "time outs", remembering the naps that Reagan took during his last term.

    We have not time for "time outs"!
