If the pres. debate is pushed back, should it replace the veep debate throwing them off schedule as well?

This is the solution the McCain camp has proposed: move the first presidential debate back to the first VP debate time slot. We’ve already got a thread going on moving the presidential debate and how we feel about that. I’d like to start a discussion about how we feel about moving the VP debate. Was this entire thing really yet another way to keep Sarah Palin from answering questions?
