Don't know if it will fly this time. It could I suppose. It's Sarah Palin's dream come true if they eliminate debates. Ink poisoning can be dangerous.

The debates hurt McCain badly, and the current GOP is not going to provide a side-by-side contrast of the simple humanity gap between the two candidates.

Negotiations over number and format will break down, "both sides" will be blamed, and there will be no debates.
