Why Shouldn't John Fedderbin Debate?

The two prevailing bits of political conventional wisdom was they Katie Hobbs should have debated and John Fedderbin should not have debated and they both won. I think that while there is some evidence in one particular poll that John Fedder bin's decision to debate may actually have helped him there at least that his numbers went up in the wake of that debate. But what it probably says is that for the the people who pay attention to debates whether someone debates or doesn't debate how they do in that debate is a conversation that happens among people who've already decided to vote  and so it probably had zero impact either way.
