Should Mitt Romney stop debating?

If all the debaters are speaking the truth there is no reason for any candidates to step away from the debates. If someone walks away, they should not be a candidate. Like Harry Truman said, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."

When did he start debating?

Can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen!

OK with me if he quits debating - and quits running.

Let a couple of backwards States pick who we have to choose from? Why have an election if we just get to go with whoever Iowa and South Carolina says our candidate is?
We need the debates, but we need to hear details of their ideas from the runners, not Just "I'm not Obama", or "we need to repeal Obamacare". Right now they are all the same, all sound bites and no solutions. Lets hear some new ideas and plans from the party, the old ones just won't fly when people need jobs, and the Congress is locked in "do nothing mode".

Angry Rich men......

Should Romney stop debating? Hell, he never did debate; he only periodically stood on his apple box and preached his bull! Americans, do we really want a President who is worth over $200 million, and makes, in his spare time (he says, truthfully for a change, that he really doesn't work at it, in making $250,000 or more per year giving speeches)??

To the editorial staff. Nobody cares. For a lot of people like my self who are working 12hrs a day 6 days a week we dont have the time. Please dont get me wrong Im greatful that I have a job for my family. Goverment is in serviver mode they are only there for them selves in the back pocket of the corporatations. For me. Whin I truly can hair and see. For the people by the people again. Well ! Who cares?

if he can't debate these mopes, how is he going to be president?

Innuendo, half truths and repeating the same tired mantra over and over is not debating.

Look, Mitt is a man who's been obscenely rich all his life, has never really known financial struggle, and has always been blessed with laws that favor his station in life. That's all well and good, but to expect that he would do anything other than cater to the priveleged class that he's benefitted so much from, and wealthy corporations in this country that have spent millions on republican campaigns is ludicrous. He has nothing in common with normal, average Americans. A $10,000 dollar bet? Saying that he makes a small amount from public speeches, an amout which turns out to be over $350,000? That's more than 7 times the income of the average American these days. And that's an amount Mitt considers to be "small". Do you really think he'll be a good representative for the average American with standards like that?
One problem I see with the republicans in this election cycle is that their TOP priority is to get rid Obama. The problem is that once you get rid of him, you're stuck with a guy in charge who may or may not represent the values and policies you believe in. That's why there's such a big backlash against many republicans elected in 2010, because there aren't a lot of plans or ideas that seem to make sense, or that don't ultimately tilt the playing field towards some industry or another, while taking money away from the middle class and the poor. Of course you want to beat your opponent, but you want to beat them because you have ideas and policies that people agree with, not because you can be the loudest at criticising the current administration. It's sort of like the dog that finally catches the car. Once they've caught it, they don't know quite what to do. They haven't really thought much beyond just catching it.

What is he trying to hide?

How could he debate Obama if he can't debate his fellow republican opposition???

"The problem with that rationale is that the field may not be five-strong when he gets to Florida. Perry or Gingrich or Santorum may drop out by then, and the remaining candidates will get a bump from that." - LOL! It's a sin in the media to even mention Ron Paul directly!

Stop debating, talking, pretending to be one of us much less understand us. After all he $320,000 paid for speaking gigs was not a lot of money.

"Should Mitt Romney stop debating?" Um, yeah... He should stop running too!

Should corporate puppet Romney stop debating? Who cares. Should he drop out definite YES..Lets get Paul in office and get some REAL change and fix some of the problems that are destroying America

These aren't "debates". Anyone who has taken a course in Logic or Argument knows that these political "gotcha" spectacles do not come close to the definition of a "debate". Whatever they are, there have already been too many of them.

"With his GOP rivals determined to use the debates to attack the UNDISPUTED FRONTRUNNER..."

Undisputed by Romney maybe. There was the caucus in Iowa and the primary in NH. If I recall correctly, he really didn't win in Iowa. And last I looked, there are still many primaries to go. The only ones saying he is the frontrunner are the media and those involved with his campaign.

Should Romney stop debating? YES - and just admit he doesn't stand a chance against Obama.
