Feel free to tell me this is a bonehead idea, but I've been thinking... What would happen if Ron Paul challenged Rudy/Mitt, etc. to actual debates?
Dr. Paul is good at debate and he'd excel, especially up against the others running for president. The likely outcome will be that Rudy/Mitt will say they can't work it into their schedule, but to some, they'd look weak for turning it down.
When Rudy spoke up about the 9/11 stuff in the past debate... Ron Paul, at his press conference the next day, could have invited Rudy to name the time and place and they could have a public debate on the issue.
When Mitt spoke up about the 9/11 stuff in the past debate... Ron Paul could have added to his response, "Mitt I would love to debate this with you further. How about we get something setup, just you and I, to discuss this?"
Of course none of these clowns will meet him, but it gets him attention, it makes him look strong, confident and powerful, and it has the opposite effect on the others.
Me personally, I would LOVE to see candidates having actual debate. Of course MSM doesn't want this because they would lose a bit of control.
Good idea or bad?
