Edwards Runs Scared From FOX News

J.J. Jackson* | March 11, 2007 

John Edwards has turned down a chance to participate in a debate with other Democratic Party frontrunners. Why? Because FOX News was co-sponsoring the event.March 9, 2007 — On Thursday, ailing Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards rejected an offer to engage in a nationally televised debate with front-runners Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Sponsors of the debate would include the Democratic Party of Nevada, the Democratic Party of Arizona, the Democratic Party of Colorado, the Democratic Party of Montana, the Democratic Party of New Mexico, and the Western Majority Project, a liberal political action committee. Why would Edwards, who is currently running 25 percentage points behind Clinton and 13 points behind Obama, turn down such a rare opportunity to directly confront his opponents? Why would the television candidate of all television candidates turn down a chance to look pretty on national television?

Edwards rejected the invitation because Fox News is co-sponsoring the debate.
Really. Seriously. No joke.

“There were a number of factors and Fox was one of those,” explained the Edwards campaign. “We’re already planning to participate in a jam-packed schedule of debates across this country. … We can’t attend every single debate and forum.”So, while the many of the sponsors were “Democratic Parties” of various states, because FOX was also involved Edwards runs like a scared little school girl? How would this man ever handle the DC press corps if he ever entered the White House? Would he run scared from the podium every time a reporter from FOX stood up to ask a question?
