Why won’t Hunter debate?

Why won’t Hunter debate?

In a time of too much biased media, negative ads and million-dollar commercials to go around, voters deserve the one real-time experience that can the best influence them about making up one’s mind on who to cast a vote for: debate.

All candidates running for an office should agree to meet their opponents in a well-mediated debate of the issues and concerns.

Congressman Duncan Hunter is unwilling to schedule any debates with congressional candidate Ray Lutz. In two separate, hand-delivered letters, the Lutz campaign requested a series of eight debates, taking place in each community throughout the 52nd District. Delivery of the second letter was recorded on video, and was greeted with malice, verbal abuse and expulsion of the messenger.

With November right around the corner, voters deserve better. I would hate to think that Mr. Hunter, a fellow veteran, would have a diminished respect for the democratic process. What is he afraid of?
