You are delusional, but it sounds like you're having a good time. Have fun!

So what? He proposed a better format. Bush isn't stuck in the 60's like Gore.

BTW. Nice of you to take a break from your humanitarian efforts to add to the discussion. Still no hint how we may discover the scope of them from your profile.

David:

Bush's refusal to debate Gore three times in a formal debate setting clearly is a sign of weakness on Bush's part.

Mr. Bush's managers are afraid of positioning him in a setting where he has to give clear and thoughtful answers. They're much more comfortable with the "sound bite" approach that is prevalent on King and Meet the Press.

No doubt Bush's people will contend there's some kind of liberal bias in the Debate Commission setup. (When all else fails, start creating "liberal conspiracies." What a bunch of nonesense. How many other Republicans who engaged in the formal debates ever alleged liberal bias? None.

I also think it's funny that George "volunteered" his running mate to take part in two formal debates while George has agreed to only one. I guess this is an example of his leading by example.

What a joke this is and, more important, it undermines the work of the Debate Commission, a non-partisan group that is trying to illuminate the American people on where the candidates stand.

The American people will see through this phony tactic.

My unoffical poll,I spoke with three STUANCH republicans here in Texas and all said this does not look good. He needs to be a man and get up in front of the country and debate in the standard format. They all agreed this will hurt him.

National debate would turn the presidential campaign to a huge preference (i.e. 10-15%) for one candidate. A similar debate by the running mates would turn it to an overwhelming (i.e. landslide) choice. Such national debate will uncover who are the good old boys.
