    Odd - why put debates in NY, MS, and TN? You'd think you'd stage them all in swing states of some sort.

    I would imagine they select people randomly based on answers to specific questions...

    So Obama finally agreed to debate McCain? It's about time he quit runnin' from him. He still is afraid to engage McCain in a town hall format.

    NO TELEPROMPTER = NO OBAMA

    telling...

    Why do you write overtly false statements like this? Do you really believe that anyone believes that Obama has been avoiding debating? Do you think you can fool someone into believing that?

    Apologize to the BBS for your lie. Obama was challenged to 10 town hall debates -- tell me pgabs, how many did he agree to? Did you see a single town hall debate? No you did not. Hmmmm..... How can you be anything but dead wrong on your stance?

    Here's the evidence.

    He's doing three debates, one being town-hall style if I recall correctly. What good does it do to have more than that...the candidates do not need to debate each other every week.

    pgabs just got POUNDED and responds with this little weakling of an argument? You just got KNOCKED OUT.

    Despite McCain's offer, they had not previously debated. So Obama was runnin' scared until now. Or did they debate? You tell me. Obama FINALLY agreed to a debate. My points stands, and your lie remains a lie.
