There are 40 days till the first primary. I heard there are 16 more debates (stupid). Experts say it takes 2 days to prepare for a debate. so take 32 days out of the 40 and that leaves a candidate (8) EIGHT days to do personal campaigning.
The candidates would be stupid to attend all of the debates, actuallt trained seal shows, with liberals as the ring masters.
I agree with Perry, they do nothing but give the media some news spots. It’s called MANUFACTURED news. But hey, apparently that is what people want these days sideshows.
They aren’t debates. They are target practice/range time for the MSM and the dems.
It would have been a rational strategy if he had adopted it when he first entered the race. He could have said he wanted to work his way into the contest, that he still had duties in his state, and wanted to build a campaign team before he started actively campaigning.
Unless he has a great next debate, skipping any debates now, even if it makes sense, will raise all sorts of derision.
I think our entire team should have skipped some of those debates, and we should be running our own debates, with our own moderators, discussing issues we think are important, not what CNN wants to attack us about.
Newt and Herman Cain are having their own debate Nov 5 and I LOVE THAT
I hope it is more a meeting of the minds rather than beating up on each other because I think our dream ticket now is Cain/Gingrich
I think that we should always elect the best talker. It’s worked well the past couple of years.
Yes, anyone under 10% in the polls should just skip the debates to protest their “unfair” disadvantage in polling.
It seems to be the general consensus that Perry did poorly in the debates. If he refuses to appear at future debates he will projecting an attitude of sour grapes. Withdrawing from the debates will give his candidacy the death blow.
