Debate On

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal is reporting that Ole Miss is moving forward with the debate as planned:

Immediately after McCain's announcement, Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Khayat told a crowd at a symposium on race and politics that the university "is ready" for the debate.

A couple of hours later, his office issued a statement, saying the university "is going forward with preparation for the debate."

"We expect the debate to go on as planned."

Khayat also said the debate sponsor, the Commission on Presidential Debates, has notified him "that we are proceeding as scheduled."
