The reason we believe we can do well in debates is my belief that we have a vision for this country,
You don't get up in the polls unless you get on the debates, and you don't get on the debates unless you go up in the polls,
If you get into the debates in a free-wheeling forum with Mr. Gore -- who I think the country doesn't want but he's stronger than you think -- and Mr. Bush -- who is going to have a tough year -- and we're in three debates together, I think I can win the presidency.
