Debates and the General Election

The Clinton campaign has been very quick to jump up and down about the lack of a debate before the Wisconsin primary. It is interesting to remember that this is the same candidate who complained about the number of debates early on.

That being said, if it wasn't for the fact that there is already a debate scheduled for next Thursday in Austin, Texas with another a few days later, I would agree that we never have enough debates. I just hope that this theme carries on through the general election where the public is best served through thorough and numerous debates that involve direct interaction between the candidates. Letting them call each other out allows them to also rebut the others stupid charges on the spot and expose the fraud among the real candidates. Also, the more the candidates debate in the fall the clearer it would be what direction there party would take the country in should they assume power.
