Samak backs down from debating Abhisit
People Power Party leader Samak Sundaravej has refused to participate in a direct debate with his rival Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva.
"I will not appear with him (Abhisit) in a televised debate - this is not good for gossiping," he said.
Samak has also launched into a tirade against his rival, saying voters would risk facing a coup if giving their mandate to Abhisit to form the next government.
Abhisit said he was willing to debate with Samak anywhere, anytime.
