I'd be surprised if he showed up

the main Tory message in the last couple of years, espoused by all their prominent MP's and their media is how weak Miliband is, and how he would be a pushover as a PM.

That message would get completely disproven in a couple of hours if they had a 1v1 debate, where Miliband would bring a lot more substance to his arguments than Cameron. It's better for Cameron to look like a bit of a coward than to look weaker than Miliband in front of the nation.
