It is always the candidate who is behind who stamps their feet for more and more (upon more) debates.

If the tables were turned I'm sure the candidates positions would be reversed accordingly.

In fact, in 2008 it was Hillary who demanded more debates when her nomination started slipping away and she fell behind Obama.
