NEW YORK (AP) — Barack Obama’s campaign says he is inclined to go ahead with Friday’s presidential debate, even though rival John McCain is calling for a delay.

McCain said Wednesday that he wants to stop all campaigning tomorrow and postpone the debate so they can work together on the financial crisis. But Obama campaign officials say the senator is inclined to move ahead.

McCain said the Bush administration’s plan seemed headed for defeat and a bipartisan solution was urgently needed.
