It's a tried and true maxim that if you are ahead, you don't want too many debates. Arnold probably has some internal polls that show him out in front. Unless that changes, he'll only do that one debate. It's that simple, and every other one of the candidates would do exactly the same if they were in Arnold's position.

"It's a tried and true maxim that if you are ahead, you don't want too many debates." And look what one debate got the Dimwit Davis...a RECALL! Now if a person has convictions, a platform and proposals the smart and ethical thing to do would be to participate in a public forum and show that he/she has the courage under fire to debate them...something that "Mr. Hide & Seek" apparently does not have. Point, Game, Set, Match! Hey, Ahnold, come out, come out wherever you are!

I have no doubt that this is true. But the fact that everyone does it, doesn't make it right.
