1. But why would the GreedyOP want to accept this
since it is certainly to their disadvantage with Bush as a debater.
Seems to me that they may play along for a while, but in the end not commit to anything that would make Bush look bad.
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

2. but the people should demand to see their president debating!
the highest office in the land, and he can't handle debating - that's surely something people ought to know.

If Bush supporters are "protecting" him from this scrutiny, its as if they are saying "yeh, I know he's incomptent" - would they really want to say this?
