Childers has also made the call for Cochran to join him for four debates -- one in each Mississippi congressional district -- including one at the University of Mississippi, both candidates alma mater. Cochran did not oblige Republican primary challenger Chris McDaniels numerous demands for debates, telling political blog Roll Call that debates ranked pretty low down the charts of public appeal. Childers believes debates are necessary because they provide the public an opportunity to see candidates answer questions of importance to voters without the benefit of a script. I dont think its an unreasonable request, Childers said. Why would a 42-year veteran congressman and senator shy away from debating a small businessman from small town Mississippi?
