Bush Likely to Bow Out of 1 Debate
President Bush may skip one of the three debates that have been proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates and accepted by Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), Republican officials said yesterday. The officials said Bush's negotiating team plans to resist the middle debate, which was to be Oct. 8 in a town meeting format in the crucial state of Missouri.

Typical bully behavior; act tough, just pick the fights that you can win (see: North Korea). Apparently, the Commission on Presidential Debates won't force the audience to sign GOP loyalty oaths.
