I don't suspect they have much control over the face-to-face part but I'd venture to claim any one of them--especially Kucinich--would love to set up an actual debate forum but I've yet to see a sitting president appear at such an event.
Participating in a live debate would be suicidal; regardless of whether his policies are correct is less of an issue than he doesn't have anything to gain by engaging in explaining or debating them.
Precisely! Kucinich is gaining a lot of ground, especially in Iowa, but by and large he is still an unknown canidate. Out of all of the canidates Kucinich is the only one who fundamentally differs from Bush and he is the one who has been criticizing him and his policies since day-one when Bush took office. Unfortunately, Bush has never really addressed Congressman Kucinich personally and it is pry one of the smartest moves the Bush administration has made. At this point for Bush to acknowledge Kucinich would only serve to validate his positions, secure his image as the anti-Bush, and give him the media attention he isn't currently getting.

Its also important to note that none of the other presidential canidates are willing to take Kucinich to point on any of the issues. He is honestly the best speaker with the best positions and the most connected to the average American. He has a heck of a lot going for him and to give him the chance to show that to the world at large would be foolish (those of us who saw the AFL-CIO debates know exactly why)

Anyway, the point is that for those out there who want a real fighter who will take this administration on then Kucinich is your man. Unfortunately, without a lot of help from us the rest of the world may never know it.
