Presidential candidates Bob Barr (Libertarian) and Ralph Nader (Creepy) have offered to fill McCain's slot in tomorrow night's debate. McCain can only hope the Commission on Presidential Debates says yes. (The rest of us can only hope they have to bicker and fight over the same podium.)
A Barr/Nader/Obama debate looks like alternative, non-mainstream programming - and with both candidates striving to "look presidential" (even as each pays lip service to being an "outsider"), this puts Obama at the kids' table for Thanksgiving Dinner while McCain and the grown-ups handle the economy. It's probably the only way McCain's ill-fated "skip the debate" strategy works.
On a side note, I'm having trouble reading stories that call Nader and Barr "third party candidates." How can they both be in a third party when they are in different parties? Doesn't one of them, by definition, have to be at least the fourth party?

Barr and Nader sharing the same podium sounds alot like our vaunted "Three Catcher" plan for the Yankees.
