What makes us think that Obama will debate Gingrich? He won't.

Three debates are practicaly an institution now, and they most likely will happen, even if Gingrich is the nominee. I think Obama will be forced into them, like it or not.

And even if Obama decided just to blow them off, there are ways to handle that and Newt himself has addressed that issue by referring to the way Lincoln shadowed Douglas, who at first refused to debate.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You are correct, there will be two regular format debates and one Town Hall type debate as is now the tradition.

And any of the three candidates, Romney, Santorum or Paul will get their butts slapped by Obama and the MSM. Newt will be the one doing the spanking if he is our candidate.

In THIS media environment? You're dreaming.

You are absolutely right. Newt will make it work for him in a grand grand way - whether barack debates him or not. No one seems to be considering this - barack is egotistical enough that he doesn't see Newt as a threat at all, and will welcome the debates. he is just so deep-seed egotistical he could think that... hope no one talks him down off the roof.
