Democrats were worried about the national exposure. Now they’re singing the Hallelujah Chorus.

I can understand his point. It’s a local race and the candidates should concentrate on their future constituents. He’s committed to two debates with the Atlanta media, he’s just refusing to let CNN make it into a national spectacle.

>>Georgia’s 6th District contenders will participate in two televised debates this week: Tuesday on WSB-TV and Thursday on WABE-TV/PBA 30, an Atlanta-based PBS station.

ABC and PBS moderated debates.. Could Handel’s people not find even one conservative forum in Georgia?

CNN was trying to help. He should look at the bigger picture(national exposure).

Chicken-$hit doesn’t want to be confronted with Kathy Griffin’s endorsement of him.

He wanted to avoid the national spectacle of having been stomped into the stage by woman’s heels. Rhetorically, of course.

Ossoff shouldn’t have declined. He’d have had Donna Brazille feeding him all the debate questions in advance and the moderating panel would be stacked with lefties asking him softball questions while Handel would be given can’t win questions to answer.

No real reason for him to add any extra debates, he is pretty far ahead now, why risk saying something wrong? No upside for him on this...

He wants to avoid this question: “You proposed cutting all sorts of government programs. When is the last time any Democrat cut any spending outside of military?” “ do the people who are funding your campaign agree with cutting any spending?”

All of the ads mailed to my house try to pretend he’s a Republican. “Does this mean Nancy Pelosi agrees with most of the Republican platform?”

That’s because he’s running as Ronald Freakin Reagan down here in order to fool people and he knows it!
