Bruce Poliquin was quoted as saying, “I will not be in any debate that includes Blaine Richardson.”

Emily Cain claimed, “I will only be in a debate that includes all three candidates.”

Blaine Richardson said, “I will debate anyone, anytime, anywhere.”

As a Maine voter, I think Poliquin and Cain are cowards, or party lovers more than liberty lovers. Or perhaps they think the voters in Maine don’t have enough intelligence to listen to a debate and choose the best candidate to represent them in Washington.

If we don’t deserve to know where the candidates stand on the issues, how are we supposed to make an intelligent decision?
