Which republican candidate do you think is ready to debate with President Obama right now?
All of them can debate President Obama. I think Herman Cain has the best chance to either tie or beat him in a debate at this point.
What's the point of a debate anyway? Debates rarely sway people's vote one way or another these days. They only galvanize their own voting base. Each candidate is going to have their own talking points to make the other person look less appealing. That being said the only person I think is ready would be Romney.
I'm with Dexter, sort of. I think it would indeed be interesting to see a Herman Cain/Barack Obama matchup.
Though I'm partial (but not committed) to my own Gov. Perry, Rick's not the strongest debater you'll ever see, he's the type that takes a lot of coaching, he's much better on the stump. Don't misunderstand, I've seen him take 'em down in Gubernatorial debates. He can be VERY good in one meeting and VERY bad in the next (as we all saw with Florida). So you can call that a wash.
Hate to say this: Obama would absolutely destroy Ron Paul. He'd probably get under Michelle Bachmann's skin early on- she's too much of a lightning rod.
Aside from Cain, the best debate competition would probably come from Romney, and although I have no plans to vote for the man, preferring to see him in a cabinet-level post, he wouldn't stand a chance against Newt Gingrich. The man could pick him apart issue by issue.
And Delmer47: As Chad Hasty, morning host on KFYO AM 790 here in Lubbock said after the last debate, "Debates just make you wanna drink more."

Why are Clinton and Trump the front runners this election year?I'm baffled. According to polls, 70% of Americans say we are headed in the wrong direction. Yet, we have Clinton ahead in the Democratic primary. More over, on the GOP side, this was supposed to be the year of the people against the...

Will Biden's Party choose to keep him out of the debates rather than have him go through the rigors of elucidating his public policy proposals, etc., in a formal debate against Trump, in lieu of recent polls in which up to 55% of Democrat voters believe Joe Biden may be in the early stages of...

This is from FORBES. I am posting the whole article for your consideration:In tonight’s debate we saw a transformed Barack Obama, and it made a very big difference. In the first debate Governor Mitt Romney was relaxed and confident and in command; Obama was practically absent. Tonight, Obama was on...

With so much vocal an organizational opposition to President Obama and his policies (such as they are) after only 9 months in office, is such criticism warranted? Does the opposition reflect minority intolerance, or a fear of growing minority influence?
