Do The Debate! Do The Debate!

Politico:

Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House.

The strategy took shape after Democratic strategists Stanley Greenberg and James Carville included Limbaugh’s name in an October poll and learned their longtime tormentor was deeply unpopular with many Americans, especially younger voters. Then the conservative talk-radio host emerged as an unapologetic critic of Barack Obama shortly before his inauguration, when even many Republicans were showering him with praise.

Soon it clicked: Democrats realized they could roll out a new GOP bogeyman for the post-Bush era by turning to an old one in Limbaugh, a polarizing figure since he rose to prominence in the 1990s.

Limbaugh is embracing the line of attack, suggesting a certain symbiosis between him and his political adversaries.
In response, Limbaugh has now offered to debate Obama -- one of the best orators of our time, mind you -- about any topic of his choice. If Obama wins in such a forum, of course, he will have eliminated his biggest opposition. Limbaugh has even offered to pay for the entire event so that taxpayers won't have to foot the bill (transcript will be posted later).

Oh, come on come on come one...DO THE DEBATE!!! :)

Yeah, right. But wouldn't it be fun if Obama actually did?


There's my two cents.
