I am more concerned if it will possible to debate the liberal candidate Obama without charges of racism coming about.
Yes, I'm certainly familiar with all that. I was responding to the thread starter's comments about debates, not the campaign as a whole. The overt sexism is one of things that had me seriously thinking about voting for McCain.

She also mentions Rick Lazio's poll numbers plummeting because he crossed the stage to confront Hillary.
