  • Republican candidate McCain will debate Obama on Friday in Oxford, after all.
After "postponing" his campaign to help solve the financial crisis and leaving tonight's debate in Oxford at loose ends, John McCain announced this morning he will attend the debate after all.

From his statement: "The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon. Following the debate, he will return to Washington to ensure that all voices and interests are represented in the final agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners."

Read the full statement at the Washington Post.

More coverage, including on-site reporting from the debate, to come.
