We should have two-man debate between Kerry and Edwards

[mot78]

I know there are many here who don't want that because they don't want Sharpton and DK excluded, but we can still have it both ways. We have all of the regularly schedualed debates, BUT we have a new debate inserted into the schedule that has ONLY Edwards and Kerry debating. The reason why we need a two-man debate is because we really need to see which candidate it better. Kerry hasn't been vetted enough to go against *. Plus, this type of debate would help Super Tuesday voters decide who to vote for.

1. If they scheduled a two-man debate, and Kerry dropped out, there'd be no

debate.

I want Kucinich and Sharpton on the bill so that Kerry can't drop out and stop the debate.

Kerry has little to gain from debating Edwards. The debate in WI looks like it was a big turning point.

2. donna brazille said the same thiong earlir

and said she expected a flood of emails for saying it.

3. Yeah I'm hoping we actually get one

Whenever someone bring the idea up to a Kerry spokesman, they try to avoid the question and reply that Sharpton and DK need to be in it. But we can still have them in other debates. It's just one debate where they'd be excluded.

4. Not only disrespectful but unproductive

Whether you like em or hate em, Kunich and Sharpton are still in the race. They should be included in the debate.

5. Make Kerry vs Edwards and Kucinich vs Sharpton the simi-finals

then have the winners debate in the chapionship

Sharpton and Kerry would make a fun 3rd place debate ;)

6. Kerry/Edwards debate

What would Kerry and Edwards have to debate about? They both voted 70%-80% of the time with Bush. The voters need to know that Kerry and Edwards are part of the problem in Washington. As long as AS and DK are still in the race they have the right for their voices to be heard.

7. We should, right now the debate has been in the media

Kerry would show why Edwards isn't ready to be president.

8. As a Kerry guy I'd love to see it

I hope Kerry doesn't get frontrunneritis and chicken out debating him. I think a Kerry - Edwards debate would be classic traditional establishment liberalism vs. centerist neopopulism.

Would be very, very cool.

9. Kerry wont do it

No way is he giving Edwards a forum to take a shot at him. All downside for Kerry.

10. I disagree . . .

the debates aren't just about winning the nomination . . . they're also about shaping the party's platform . . . and both Kucinich and Sharpton bring progressive ideas to the table that need to be considered . . .

11. booooring!

Without Sharpton and Kucinich I'll have to resort to large quantities of caffeine.

What could these two men possibly debate about? "I'm from the South". "I went to Vietnam". blah blah blah
