It makes the candidate appear weak and unpresidential. If the candidate would stand with O'Malley and against DWS on the issue of debates, that candidate's favorability would rise immediately.

It isn't a good idea to treat a presidential candidate like a child who needs protection. I believe that candidate needs more debates as well.
