Debate is a vital part of our democratic process. If you will not participate, it is one more reason to not vote for you!

I think that the voters of California deserve a debate with all the candidates running for governor from all the political parties listed on our ballots participating. If this is arranged then we truly have a democratic system. Thank you.

Governor Schwarzenegger should have the intestinal fortitude to enter a debate with Angelides, unless he doesn't really know what he believes. The Governor seems to change with the wind!!!!!

Baby boomer who votes every time. I am very upset that you side with the insurance companies nearly every time. I am upset that you targeted teachers and nurses. I am upset that you seem to think that Californians do not deserve universal healthcare. I saw the starstruck expressions on the faces of the people who voted for you. Well, I'm not starstruck at all and I know 'it's called ACTING'! BTW, you might want to read the PNAC mission statement ( the neocons Bush represents so well )as well as the Downing Stree minutes, along with all of the reports from the generals, spies and military analysts before you back Bush and his war any more.

Having open debates between candidates is so far more important in expressing and explaining their views than the ludicrous campaign ads everyone is subjected to. Let the debates begin!

If your convictions are solid, a debate shouldn't scare you. But by aligning yourself with BU$HCo and his cronies, you already have three strikes against you. Time to 'fess up to your true values and show you really can lead this great state. I'm a native Californian and I don't like what I've seen for the past twenty years: over population, rising real estate costs, rampant crime, gang and drug problems, and loss of jobs to name a few.

Governor Schwarzenegger... I am a voter who upholds the values of my democracy. And since this is a democracy, I strongly urge you to uphold those same values and engage in a debate with your opponent, Phil Angelides. A decision NOT to participate in this debate would indicate to me that you are not practicing the principles of our democracy which should deny you the governorship of the great state of California!!

We would like to hear, for once, what you profess to support. Debate represents a democratic means for assessing your responses. But there should be a couple of caveats. Leave your handlers at home. Trying speaking from the heart instead of a well-crafted script. Finally, let there be no scripted question in this debate. You profess to be a person who knows how to govern correctly; therefore, you should be able to respond in a debate without rehearsal. Leave that for the movie roles.
