Republicans Breathe Deeply, Cautiously Think About Doing A YouTube Debate

Apparently the Republican presidential candidates may not really think that being asked questions by real Americans is degrading to their image. UPI reports that there may yet be a Republican YouTube debate this year.

The number of Republican presidential hopefuls willing to debate on live TV and the YouTube Internet site has doubled from two to four.

Following the initial debate featuring Democrats last month, willingness to participate in the format among Republicans was thin, the Washington Post reported.

A Sept. 17 date for Republicans to answer videotaped Internet questions from voters on live television was originally set, but unidentified party sources told the Post it will now likely be in November or December.

Ron Paul, Tommy Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee have all agreed to the debate. Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani still seem to be scared of the talking snowmen.

Have they figured out how they're going to censor the questions yet?

Well come on, who ISNT afraid of talking snowmen...?

But on a serious note, how can the Republican candidates expect us to believe they will stand up to terrorists when they can't even stand face to face with the American people and face our questions directly?
