I've seen nothing from any candidate.

This is a huge opportunity. 3 minutes of free TV time, in prime time, so long as the issue is imigration, health care, or five or six others he listed.

2. Trusting Lou Dobbs and CNN would be incredibly stupid
major ground rules would first have to be set- and even then, you can bet that CNN will have some sort of smear machine set up.

3. that kind of face time nationally is a huge opportunity.
Also, an honest debate with Lou would not be a bad thing. If you disagree with him politely, he takes it standing up.

I'd rather engage him and get all that free air time, for the same reason that I think Edwards refusing to go on Faux might be a mistake.

4. Strom Thurmand took him up on it didn't he?

Oh, he's not running? nevermind.

6. Flies won't step into Spider's parlor.
"I don't see why they're not stepping in," Spider says.
