that people could pose as undecided when they actually are partisans

I remember the one where "Mr. Pony-Tail" asked what the candidates could do for him. W would be wise to take a pass on that theatre.

"President Bush may skip one of the three debates"

No problem, kerry can argue for AND against while debating himself. He does it all the time.

Smart move. Many of the people who consider themselves undecided or independent are really people have brainwashed by the libs but don't realize it. The spout the dem headlines and don't even realize it.

That's a reasonable consideration given that we've had even a few Kerry staffers posing as Republicans, and for a few decades now we've had a ridiculous number of communists posing as Democrats.

Not to mention scores of seminar callers on radio and C-span and trolls here posing as conservatives or GOP only to be exposed when the very first words they utter are "I'm a conservative, but..."

Just for the record, though- an undecided voter this late in the game is a moron. Why base a debate on the questions of the clueless?

NO townhall meetings! Can you imagine the protestors that the baggy eyed bolshvik would plant? Get a real moderator while you're at it - Brit Hume!
