I respectfully disagree. I can see your point, but by not debating Bush would be accused of fearing to debate. The Dims would love to do that.
Just remember how Bush cleaned Gore's clock four years ago. And add to that the fact that he's had four more years of public speaking, and it just gets better and better.
Besides, Kerry will make a mess of the debates. Why deny us the laughs?
I agree. W has nothing to fear from this "master debater." Whenever the American public sees Kerry, we gain votes.
