Bush's camp may cut 1 debate

NEW YORK -
Could Tempe find itself the odd location out for the upcoming
presidential debates?
President Bush's campaign won't say for sure whether he will agree to
the three debates proposed by the independent Commission on
Presidential Debates, or if a Republican strategist was right this
week when he said the Bush campaign would agree to only two debates.
The commission, without a formal agreement by the Bush camp, set
debates for Sept. 30 in Coral Gables, Fla.; Oct. 8 in St. Louis; and
Oct. 13 in Tempe.
A vice presidential debate between incumbent ***** Cheney and
Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's running mate, North
Carolina Sen. John Edwards, was set for Oct. 5 in Cleveland.
GOP strategist Scott Reed was quoted by the Reuter news agency this
week as saying the Bush camp's position is that "two debates are
sufficient and will not dominate the entire fall schedule."
