This tells me a lot about these 2 candidates...it just shows that they don't want to field the tough questions that need to be asked...they just want to answer the easy questions from the liberal networks...

They prefer the softball questions from sympathetic interviewers, and they realize that Fox won't let them skate on certain issues. Although I don't agree with a lot of what Gore and Kerry say, I do respect them for going on Fox facing the tougher questions they get. I have a hard time respecting a candidate who cherry picks their interviewers. If they won't face tough questions on all issues as a candidate, then do I trust them to make the tough decisions necessary should they be elected? Don't think so.

Do you mean like,How do we get out out of Iraq with a
clear victory. Easy like, Why is the people responsible for
the twin towers still walking around planing some more dirt.
Hears an easy one. What happened to the 92 billion dollars
that we had to barrow so we could give it to Iraq? One more
easy question. What did that 92 billion buy us? and some
would call the democrats liberal. Damnnn.

If Fox invites questioners and commentators from both sides evenly and has a neutral moderator there should be no reason for them to decline. I believe that is not what Fox has in mind. The Fox Net wants to cross examine them without benefit of someone on their side to ask questions that would help them as well as those that will hurt them. In other words, the whole thing is rigged to their determent and I can't blame them.

I agree with their premise that its going to be a biased debate, but non the less it does speak volumes about their character - or lack thereof.
If you really have substance, if you really know the better way to do things, then your goal should be to really show someone up in their own arena.
If the Democratic candidates really believe themselves to be the better choice, they should have no problem wiping the floor with any Republican in any debate.....they are cowardly to back away from this opportunity...and this is coming from a diehard Dem...

I think they are quite right to decline to appear on Fox. That network has done its best to spread ridiculous lies about them (eg Barack Obama attending a madrassa), and I don't see any reason why they should have to appear on it.
In order to counter the accusation that they don't want to field tough questions, though, perhaps they should offer to participate in a debate with some right-wing pundits who aren't from Fox. That would seem fair to me.

Why get asked the tough questions now, when there's no need to do so? It's poor political strategy. If anything it shows me that Clinton and Obama are at the least decent strategists.

Well, it means that they are not the best for the JOB. I guess in the primary LETS VOTE FOR EDWARDS. I think HE is the only the candidate for Democrat who can do the JOB.

They only want to deal with serious audiences...like that of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.
