on the debates!
There has been talk that Nazi Rove only wants one debate. I seriously hope we push for a few debates between Kerry and shrub and at least 1 with Edwards and Nazi Cheney. Out of the few with Kerry and shrub we need one where the PEOPLE get to ask ALL the question. No more chances for gutless junior to avoid the people he represents.

Has anyone heard any FACTS on the debates yet? Not rumor, facts dates, times places?

1. I Heard Rove Wants Two Presidential Debates And One VP Debate
The Carter people fought for and won reducing the debates to one...

Be careful what you wish for....


Reagan and Mondale had two debates. Reagan by all accounts performed poorly in the first debate and redeemed himself in the second debate... In the first debate Reagan looked old and out of touch....


Without the second debate Reagan still wins the presidency but the vaunted 49 state landslide is gone....


What's my point.....


Be careful of what you wish for....

2. 1 debate and they will want their way
Just like the very few press conferences this fascist puke had. They will call on who they want or the questions will be presubmitted. This lightweight needs to held accountable to the PEOPLE.

At least 2 debates are needed!

3. It Depends On The Polls
Whoever is ahead in the polls will have more leverage on the number of debates and the formats....


Also, if there's one debate and you screw up you don't get a chance to redeem yourself...


That's a high stakes strategy....
