On the contrary, if I were JD, I'd do ads saying McCain is a coward to debate the important issues facing Americans- and Arizonaians.
Who the hell is running JDs campaign? McCain is ripe for the picking and yet JD isn't really gaining any momentum. Specter's loss proves and establishment guy can be beat.
Come on, JD, do something to turn the tide, and go after McCain something fierce!
I'm not saying that McCain is right not to debate. In fact, it is rather cowardly. What I'm saying is McCain does not have to debate just because FReepers want him to. That's a big gamble for McCain to take. Why should he take it?
JD on the other hand needs to put pressure on McCain and force him to debate. Otherwise JD is going to lose.
