The only problem is that one or more debates between the Republican and Democrat nominees is not a requirement. There is no law that demands one or more debates. 0bama would be well advised to simply skip any one-on-one debate against Speaker Gingrich. Why in the world would 0bama give up the advantage of incumbency and risk it on a debate performance that 0bama might win (and secure the election) or draw (and likely still win) or lose (and risk the election)? It seems that only bad things (from the 0bama perspective) can happen following a Gingrich-0bama debate. Anyone remember Mayor Rizzo in Philadelphia? “I’m not going to debate you Thatch. No one knows you Thatch!”
True, debates are not a requirement, but if he refuses, I think it will be a sign of weakness. I would imagine even some Dims and the MSM would want him to debate. How can they defend him not debating? So in essence he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
