Good question. It was to be a debate, not an interview.

What's he get paid for?

Leno hit it on the head. Liberals are cowards and not fit for leadership. Particularly in these perilous times.

The Democratic Presidential hopefuls have to be very careful on how they are presented up until election time.

Going on Fox News would mean they might get asked tough questions for which they have no real answers and they won't be able to wiggle their way around them.

The other news stations would of course praise them all for being democrats and then ask each one how they are superior to Bush and see which one can tally up the greatest number of his faults. On Fox, they might get asked about what they would plan to do about Iran and stopping terrorists from killing America.

None of them will be interviewed by anyone who might possibly throw them a serious question. Hillary is the worst when it comes to this. She won't be interviewed by anyone who might ask her something tougher than "what is your favorite color?".

I think the crux of this particular issue is that the dems would not even participate in debate on Fox. They said Fox is biased, but how could any bias on Fox color the debate??? Fox hosted the debates in the last election and nobody claimed bias then. What's changed since that time?

The best part is that this debate is hosted by Fox AND the congressional black caucus. Can you imagine the outcry from the left if the republicans twice refused a debate hosted by anybody and the congressional black caucus?
