Bush already getting cold feet on the debates. I guess his spin people have told him he'd fare better with Larry King than with Gore. The following from today's Robert Novak column in the Chicago Sun-Times:

Gore campaign chairman William Daley is drawing a hard line, insisting on the three formal presidential debates proposed by a bipartisan commission and agreeing to encounters on regular television programs only as add-ons.

Texas Gov. George W. Bush does better debating in an informal format, such as CNN's "Larry King Live" program during the South Carolina primary, when three candidates and a moderator were seated and crowded together at one table. His campaign has hinted he would like the "Larry King" show and NBC's "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert to constitute two of the three debates.

That arrangement has been definitively ruled out by Daley in behalf of Vice President Al Gore. While Gore will be happy to confront Bush on television shows, Daley contends, it will have to be in addition to the three formal debates.
