Leaders in Democratic race withdraw from debate...again.

At this rate no Democratic debates will take place unless they promise to lob soft questions or guarantee to fawn all over the candidates with gushing praise.

Once again, John Edwards, then Barack Obama and now Hillary Clinton have backed away from a debate scheduled to air on Fox News Channel. This one was cosponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute.

Fox News is the Number 1 rated news channel. Appearing here would have exposed the candidates to a much wider audience than they will get on any other venue. Perhaps it is that exposure they fear. And if they can’t take the heat of an honest debate that asks fair but hard questions, what does it say about their future performance should they gain the White House?

Gutless.
