Only Ron Paul & John McCain are game. Are the rest afraid to take questions directly from the American public?
Of course the whole idea of a YouTube debate is a bit odd, but this is the information age after all.

Ron Paul is the only free thinker running for Republican nomination.

Dylan, this morn on the radio I heard only those 2 were willing to participate. Just got home from work, so I haven't heard any changes. If I'm wrong, my fault!

Bryan, are you serious?! C'mon, FOX isn't news. Even my conservative friends (they're REAL conservatives, not boot-lickers like you) know it's pure propaganda!

1st Buzie, nobody's asking them tame a lion, smart guy. Just answers questions from the public. I guess you prefer a dictator who could care less what the electorate thinks. I guess that means you'll be moving to North Korea or Cuba. Good, you obviously cannot appreciate a democratic republic.

It will be September 14th , if I am not mistaken. I would assume that more than just Paul and McCain would participate. I don't think that it would be shrewed to skip out on that one.

I don't know! Why are Democrats so unwilling to participate in a debate sponsored by Fox News? Are they afraid to take questions which will reach a predominantly conservative audience? It's politics plain and simple. I am sure that many Republican candidates have not embraced the Internet fully yet and consider it a haven for liberals. I mean let's be honest most are old white stuffed shirts who are indeed slow to respond and change with the times. I could be wrong on this, but it seems like as plausible an explanation as any that might be presented.
Edit: I am not a boot licker. Unlike yourself I don't kiss any party's hindquarters. I vote for people not party agendas. Second, I don't watch Fox News. However, it is a news outlet. Want to argue it is biased that is fine, because I would agree with you there. They do have a large audience though. If Democrats want to attempt to win over these votes they would make the attempt to reach them by whatever means are necessary.
How do you spin a debate? And if you even try it would be so patently obvious as to be laughable and would prove beyond a shadow of doubt how biased Fox is on matters which would add support to their claims. Like the Democrats in question, you are short sighted and cannot see the big picture. You just attack anything you don't agree with out of hand (i.e. Boot Licker comment) . Get over yourself pal and before you talk about anything, or anyone being biased, take a good long look in the mirror, because your presumptions about my political leanings without supporting evidence show how biased you are on matters.

because it's a moronic forum for debate. Then again this whole horde of candidate's in the primary on both sides is pretty moronic so *shrug* who cares really.
It doesn't really matter anyway. You have your mind made up and are not about to pull your head out long enough to actually read a response. But then again, that reminds me of the Democrapic party.

Well Giuliani, McCain, Romney and Paul would get most time. The lower guys(Huckabee, Tancredo, Brownback, Thompson, etc.) should do it to help themselves, but its a waste of time

ah .... the issue is that CNN chooses the questions from among those submitted.
Maybe if the offer was changed to Fox News choosing the other Reps would be willing.

They are conservatives. Conservative people don't want to try something new.
