Republican is scared to debate Libertarian

According to Richard Sincere of Examiner.com, Virginia Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who is running for governor, wants lots of debates -- as long as Libertarian candidate Rob Sarvis isn't there.

According to the article, Cuccinelli wants his Democratic opponent to debate him at least 15 times. When asked if Rob Sarvis should also debate, he said, "Not really, no."

It's odd that Republicans feel a particular fear of Libertarians, since polls frequently show that Libertarian candidates get at least as much support from Democrats as from Republicans.

If the Democrat and the Republican really believe in democracy and well-informed voters, they should be eager to include Rob Sarvis in debates.
