Clinton’s New Debate Proposal: On the Back of a Flatbed Truck
done
WILMINGTON, NC — First she said that if Barack Obama didn’t like the questions he received from debate moderators, she’d debate him Lincoln-Douglas style. Now, Hillary Clinton says she’ll even take the show on the road.
Obama told reporters this week that he’s ruled out another debate before the next round of primaries, moderators or no moderators — saying “Rather than being in a studio, I want to make sure that we’re reaching out to folks where they live.”
Senator Clinton’s response? “We could even do it on the back of a flatbed truck, doesn’t even have to be in some fancy studio somewhere,” she told the cheering crowd at an outdoor rally in the shadows of the USS North Carolina.
Clinton said she was “very, very regretful” that Obama would not agree to a new debate in the Tar Heel state . “He turned down the debate that I agreed to here in North Carolina,” she said. “There were 20,000 people who had already emailed in for tickets. There was that much interest.”
“I know his supporters say well, they didn’t like the debate in Philadelphia. The questions were kind of mean and they were sort of tough. You know, I’ve gotta say, tough questions in a debate is nothing like the tough decisions you’ve got to make in the White House. And I think that this state deserves a debate.”
After an evening in her Washington home and a late start to the day, Senator Clinton seemed more energized that usual — and despite her precarious position in the race, she said she’s having a great time on the trail. “You can tell, I’m having so much fun in this campaign,” she said. “People say to me all the time, aren’t you tired? Well, you know, every so often. But I get up every day energized about what we can do in this country.”
But she acknowledged that the fun stops once you get to the White House. Addressing concerns ahout what might happen in Iraq when she withdraws US troops, Clinton said “I’m asked all the time, well don’t you worry about what will happen? Well of course I worry. I had the great privilege of being in the White House for 8 years. You never stop worrying.”
“Why do you think people come out looking so much older than they did when they went in? I mean, if you know what’s happening, you worry.”

Come on Obama you are always preaching how everything should be out in the public. Why are you declining anymore debates don’t you want the public to know your “change” and “policies” we have yet to know??
Obama you and Clinton did not have 21 debates you had a total of 4 debates just Hillary and you. I’m just trying to keep the politicians straight since they like to mix the truth up.
Hillary has completely LOST THE PLOT! we are sick and tired of TV Debates, so far we have had 21 !!! and all we get is Lies and Personal attacks from Yourself. So Hillary you have had your chance and the Answer should be clearly NO MORE TV DEBATES - it does not matter how much your shout, scream or CRY!
Voters on The Street’s want to hear about POLICY and all we are getting is NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING, it is my HOPE the Voters in Indiana will send out a Clear Message The Race is OVER!
At the end of the day the DNC must take the blame for this mess and what damage it is doing to the Democratic Party, however much they keep saying all is fine let the race run to the end, 50% of all voters say We Have Had Enough!
She’s the best, I want her as my President!!!
While putting emphasis on her debate challenge in the media, no one is talking about that she needs the free advertising since she’s heavily in debt for this campaign–perhaps they should not have stayed at “elite” hotels like Four Seasons. Clinton can’t handle her own campaign budget much less the country’s. I keep hearing her tell voters that she’s going to give them everything they want but my question is where is she getting the money to do so.
The only reasonable, possible explanation to the Wright/Obamba debacle is that Obama agreed with his mentor for 20 YEARS. That is why Wright is out there giving his Black Recent Speeches and Obama dares not refused nor denounced him because if Obama does, then Wright will spill out exactly what Obama said and how he felt for these last 20 YEARS. Obama cannot denounce nor refused Wright because the truth will come out. Wright is Obama’s true political liability. Expect the following:
1- WRITE A BOOK.
2- CONTINUE TO GIVE NATIONAL SPEECHES.
3- HE WILL CHARGE FOR THOSE NATIONAL SPEECHES.
4- HE WILL APPEAR IN MORE COMMENTARY PROGRAMS.
5- DONT BE SURPRICE IF WRIGHT HIMSELF RUNS FOR SENATOR.
6- THERE WILL BE A WRIGHT IDIALOGY BASED ON HIS POLITICAL ANGLE.
7- OBAMA WILL NOT DISASSOCIATE, NOR RENOUNCED REV. WRIGHT.
SO ASK YOURSELF WHY? Why CANT THE NEXT POSSIBLE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DENOUNCE AND RENOUNCE HIS CRAZY, ANTI-AMERICAN PASTOR? EASY; WRIGHT KNOWS TOO MUCH
Michelle in Philly,
Good morning…go to Google and look up Hillary Clinton and presidential pardons. Get to the part where she not once…but twice…with each of her brothers…tried to sell presidential pardons for cash. If that does not reveal how someone thinks, and their willingness to abuse their position…I have no idea what does. This is your girl….do you want that person as president? This is not a rant, its a fact. Look it up.
First it was Rocky, Annie Oakley, gun loving, shot slamming,tough as nails Hillary, now it is desperate, out of touch Hillary. What can we expect next. I have seen Lincoln - Douglas style debate , mano a mano, now its flat bed country style, oh my gosh. I hope he says no, I think he would be in danger from this desperate soul.
Joy’s comment about the free advertising is 100% right. Hillary doesn’t have the money to spend, so will do whatever she can to obtain free publicity. Poor management in the handling of her campaign proves she is in no position to be the leader of our country.
Between the campaign problems, her “mis-speaking” and her husband, she is a huge liability to the Democrats.
If Obama is the nominee, for the first time in my life, I plan to vote for a Democrat. If it’s Clinton, I shall do all I can to help John McCain’s campaign.
Hilary is very desperate she and she sounds like it. I don’tthink the undecideds will break in her favor in Indiana - especially since it’s been broadcast that doing more harm than good the party.
Right now I believe she is primarily running to pay her creditors and recoup her $5mill. Its gonna be pretty hard ask for money if she bows out. The supers are never going to take this primary from Obama. Nobody’s that stupid… well there is Bush but we all knew that.
Hillary you are so awesome. No wonder the other guy is chicken - **** scared. Rock on, girl!
Michelle in Philly,
If Ken Starr couldn’t find enough evidence to make those allegations stick then there can’t be all that much to them. President Bush and his lot hate the Clintons. They’ve had a full decade to investigate Hillary–with the full backing of the FBI, CIA, SEC, etc.–and haven’t come up with one thing yet. You’d think Karl Rove and the Republicans would be gleeful about the way the Democrats have betrayed Hillary (much like they betrayed Joe Leiberman) but her willingness to stay in a race she has very little chance of winning has garnered her grudging respect. Every time I read an attack on Hillary here it takes me one step closer to voting for McCain.

Clinton or McCain 08
Oops, I addressed that to the wrong person. Sorry Michelle. That should have been for R … in response to what he said to you. My apologies.
Anne in Texas,
Well done. I think they are setting a date in a CA court to hand the Clinton campaign fraud debacle. Don’t hear much about that on the news…..hmmm.
Hey “comment by R” - If you don’t want Obama to be judged be Reverand Wrights comments and views then judge not Hillary by her brother’s actions. I don’t judge any candidate or anyone in this world for what a “relative” has done. Not their fault. Stop trying to “spin” everything. Get off the train.
Bottom line people is that Hillary is a good debator and has all the answers and Obama doesn’t and you all who support Obama are scared he’ll disgrace himself out of the nomination. I just can’t believe that all of you Obama supporters don’t care who he is, what in his past lies, and what he stands for and for god sake, why he refuses, flat out refuses to sever his tie to Rev. Wright. You all scare me.
Wow, looks like the N.O.W. gang has come out of hiding in here. They haven’t been seen since they ducked the Bill/Monica as well as other Clinton scandals to “stand by their man?”…LOL…good to see them though…well maybe not SEE them…wait..get those images out of my head…Lord help me!
I cannot speak for the rest of the American public; however, I, for one, am tired of the debates. This entire process has been drawn out and taking a toll on the Democratice party. We’ve had a total of 21 debates that both candidates have participated in (whether with other candidates of just the two of them), and I think it’s been 20 too many. They are both saying the same things in the debates, so give us a break. Anyone paying attention to the news can formulate their own decision without another debate. Move on to something else. No more debates!!!

Katherine,
Perhaps we can get BOTH Democratic candidates to stand on a stage and just keep repeating….Hope…Change….Hope…Change…
After all, why let issues, or their answers to important questions get in the way of formulating an opinion on selecting the most powerful office in the world. Let’s all play nice.
Katherine, I like your post and you are 100% right. Hillary supporters hope for a debate cause that way Hillary can unleash her venom. I want a Hillary supporter to tell me, why if she is so terrific,experienced, ready on day one why is she behind? She should by all predictions had this thing wrapped up in February. Some one here said Obama supporters scare them, why if Hillary does not scare you nothing can. For all her promises and speeches why is she losing so many friends and supporters? Why does Obama have so much money donated to him? She is Hillary Clinton, why has she not been able to take him out yet?
Jeff,
The last debate that I saw (and changed the channel from) dealt very little with the issues that are important to me, as well as other people…the economy, the price of gas, the housing crisis, healthcare, the national debt, the war in Iraq (and I could go on and on and on). I have no problem with debates; however, I do have a problem with them when one cannot obtain the “…answers to important questions…”. It would have been nice to see BOTH candidates adress the issues instead of the constant going back-and-forth attacks that took place at the beginning of the ABC debate. Yes, we do need as much information as we can get because we will be electing a person to the “most powerful office in the world”. However, when debates turn into attacks and don’t address the issues, there isn’t much information that can be obtained from them so that one can decide between one candidate or the other. As for playing nice, I’d like to see BOTH candidates play nice and stick to the issues and the answers. Afterall, that’s what’s important…the issues and the answer to the issues.
Obama doesn’t want to debate because he’s the favorite in N.C. and he thinks he doesn’t have to debate and he can’t afford another one like the last one. Clinton debated in PA. when she was the favorite to win. I can’t believe this guy thinks he is presidential material. This guy is a joke!

Katherine, I prefer the opposite tactic…I actually give credit to Hillary for her idea of a 90 minutes NO MODERATORS debate. No “softball” questions, no hedging on answers, no campaign speech rhetoric everything open to debate. That’s the way we USED to have campaign debates before this sickening genteel style where no answers, no facts, ever get addressed.
The other point is, for those Americans too squimish to watch a REAL debate, they can perhaps
record an episode on PBS like “The history of lawn furniture” to quell their jagged nerves.
Comment to R. Judge Munoz, according to what I read yesterday, isn’t going to make Hillary testify until after the election. Then we will get more Clinton baggage. There will be many who are being called to testify including Chelsea and many well known people. The scandals just never stop with them. Looking at them after the Pennsylvania Primary on stage brought back many unwanted memories of them in office. I don’t know what others feel, but if you read the Clinton Chronicles, it is much more scary than anything about Reverend Wright or anything to do with Obama.
Hey here`s a tought , dont watch the debates if your sick of them.
How hard is that to figure out ?
What is Obama afraid of ? What are you Obama people afraid of ?
Jeff,
Good. You have your opinion and preferences just as I have mine. You’re entitled to that just as I am. I don’t have to watch them if I choose not to. If you choose to do so, you can watch them.
A debate without a moderator between Clinton and Obama will turn into a three-ring circus. They will both be throwing everything (including the kitchen sink) at each other. What is to be a debate between two candidates will turn into a shouting match.
It’s not a matter of being too squimish to watch. It’s a matter of being fed up with all of the drama and bull (nice way of putting it) that is being slung by both candidates. By the way, in my profession, one cannot afford to be squimish.
She is great at GRANDSTANDING!!!!!! What would anyone expect out of her? Always saying and doing whatever is necessary to get what she wants!!
god people get over the little stuff, who cares who pardons who every president does it. stop picking the little things apart. if thats all you have then i would hate to see how you live your lifes. she has challenged him and he dont want to because he looks stupid on stage. stumbles for words, dont know what to say. thats why he wont because he know he will lose.
Joann, try again on the pardons. Its fact. Sorry.
Nina, I think you’re right on that case, should be interesting.
oh nora i can answer that question, because the DNC wont reinstate fl., mi. votes. instead they would rather disenfranchise the 2 states that they are going to need to win the white house in november. so tell me he would be ahead if they did reinstate these 2 states. you cant because he wouldnt.
This is unbelievable!
WASHINGTON - Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after the June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win the election in N
*******************************************************************************
Dean is the LAST PERSON to give orders for a candidate to drop out, he is the only one who should have drop out for CREATING THIS HUGE IRREPARABLE MESS, causing so much stress and ansiety for both candidates and voters who are ready to leave the party alltogether if their candidate doesn’t get the nomination. They will both feel cheat it out if they lose. Disenfrinchinsing Mich and Florida VOTERS should have never been an option for moving the primary up. Dean made a FATAL MISTAKE. Sen. Clinton should be the Front runner if these 2 states are included, period!
** 50 DEBATES, 1 per STATE……
I believe VOTERS in every 50 state should have the oportunity to see their candidates
DEBATING about each state critical needs and what the candidates will do to help.
Not just go arround campaigning with prepared pretty speaches and sweet rpomises.
Each debate should involve some questions from the viewers, this way voters will
see how candidates react with UNPREPARED SITUATIONS. A President must be able
to deal with UNPREPARED situations.
It appears Obama can’t handle UNPREPARED SITUATIONS, fears the unknown, he
is opposing to have more than 21 debates. Debates are very important and necessary
before voters make up their mind. Unveils the true character and strenght of a
candidate!
Did any see Rev. wright on t.v. this morning?
Really, I think another debate would be rather entertaining. Certainly would be better than a lot of the garbage that is on the TV these days.
Obama duck an oppoprtunity to let Americans know what his real positions are? Do tell.
Did anybody heard this morning J.Wright is getting ISLAM PROTECTION because dead threats against him. He is playing reverse psycology with the american voters saying that if Obama is President he will come hard on Obama because the governement polices are corrupt.
He also said he is not Running for president but would consider the VP slot. HOW ABOUT THAT?
[...] Clinton’s New Debate Proposal: On the Back of a Flatbed Truck [...]
lov america—– thats what I heard too
An open debate between Hillary and Barack?? Now there’s an idea - Lets all let the two remaining democratic candidates rip each other up in a 90 minute free for all and shred what is left of either of them into pieces….that will accomplish allot. Hey, then we can wheel the broken carcass of the last one standing and let the GOP finish them off. Yeah….I am ALL for that?!
wrights ignorance heard this morning
now how is obama going to explain ALL this?
What’s he so afraid of? He’s afraid to be off script. He’s afraid to be around Clinton supporters. He is afraid of confrontation. It’s clear the people want to see these guys debate. Come on scaredy-cat! YES SHE WILL
I saw the speach of J Wright during a dinner on his honor. He came out like he was the know it all mesiah. He was preaching americans the difference between different and destructive. He is nuts the vomit that came out of his mouth during those past sermons against America were loud and clear, they were different alright, FULL OF HATE AGAINTS AMERICANS. He is trying to justify his hatefull actions and come out with his hands clean. I will say TOOOOOO LATE!.
Just to think that Obama has been a member of this antiamerican church for 20 looooooong yrs. He must have enjoyed J. Wright’s sermons. Obama’s poor judgement and lack of patriotism are very questionable.
What’s he so afraid of? He’s afraid to be off script. He’s afraid to be around Clinton supporters. He is afraid of confrontation. It’s clear the people want to see these guys debate. Come on scaredy-cat! YES SHE WILL
lov america— I agree,,,he was so arrogant,,above every body,,,but he says he is the victim
Red neck woman, This is why Obama’s character is in question because there are many questions he hasn’t answered clearly and truthfully. All he has done so far is going around with his PREPARED inspirational speaches ans sweet promises fooling the fools to vote for him.
Obama and his antiamerican hatefull friends are dangerous for America. period!
I think HILLARY would worry a little about Whitewater and Vince Foster , wake up people HILLARY will do anything or say anything to get elected. It is all about Power and making history, Bill wants to be THE FRIST MAN. people wake up OBAMA is the one to vote for you cannot trust HILLARY @ BILL and by the way who’s running BILL or HILLARY? This was planned years ago back in college for this to play out she don’t care about the poor people of this country, They just want to make history,HILLARY is like a snake, WAKE UP!
Funny … Hillary always wants to pick a fight. A debate is just a nice way of saying an argument, isn’t it? She wants to scrap. Hillary is the fighter, Obama is the bridge-builder. Of course she does better in debates, she’s in her element. But the flat-bed truck thing is what makes it funny! Not some neutral public space like the stage of some arena somewhere, but the back of a flat-bed truck. Where did she come up with that?? ‘Cause she’s trying to pass herself off as some kind of redneck. LOL! She is not working class, she is NO class.
I didn’t start out disliking her, I really didn’t understand all the negativity she attracts. Now I do.
tplayers here they want us to accept someone we dont know that well to become president that is un americsanhis is beginning to sound like a country in the mideast. they want to silence the american peole who sont know this stranger obama . we need to here and see his reactions to questions this is not american idol this is dangerous this is imporant isssues. too many questions . america understand this WE NEED A STRONG PRESIDENTM A PRESIDENT THAT WILL STAND UP FOR US. this is too much like watching someone become the manchurian canidate for real. hate to break those obamas peoplea bubbles but it will never happen too much time is wasted on this obama someone wants us to beleive a stranger then someone we know and trust just look at what some of his followers are saying out there. putting the clintons down and making them look like they are racists lol if they beleive this then i have a bridge to sell them and they will fall for anything. dont be stupid people look whats happening here. hip hop gangsta talking american idol want to be’s.
Did you hear Rev Wndell Anthony who introduced J. Wright at the dinner yesterday?, he was screaming making Wright shine, that he has 2 masters, serviced in the military, talks 5 languages and just how wonderful J Wright is. Those pastors are nuts!. His knowledge its not in question but his hate for America.
We don’t care how many degrees J. Wright has, for knowing so much he sure failed how to honor and respect the contry he serviced in the military, appears he hated to have done that too.
As for speaking 5 languages, I will say he actually speakS 6, HATE AGAINST AMERICA!
Don’t forget the comments Obama made on April 6th at a private fundraiser in San Francisco. There, the freshman Illinois senator, opining about people in small towns where the jobs have fled, said: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
“This is elitist behavior by Senator Obama,” says Schmidt (reporter). “The condescension Obama shows toward the values of people who are the backbone of America is very clear.”
Those few words, transcribed from a more than 45-minute recording of Obama, buried in the midst of a very ruminative, rather personally-oriented piece Mayhill Fowler, an activist blogger who supports Obama and contributed the maximum allowable $2,300 to his presidential campaign, kicked off a media firestorm.
“We recognized it was a politically volatile story and thought it would create news,” says Marc Cooper, editorial coordinator of Huffington Post’s “Off The Bus” project for “citizen journalists” such as Fowler. “We had no idea that the controversy would reach this magnitude.”
I GUESS THEY HAD NO IDEA SMALL-TOWN AMERICANS REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR BELIEFS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS!
NO OBAMA — GO HILLARY!
no i am not a racist . just because i see it like it is. does not make me a racist, but some of you obama lovers . will call the very people who worked very hard for the black people to have a fair shake in this world. biting the hand that feeds you is not very smart is it?

Agree with you OBAMA may be the bridge builder, to what? CHANGE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION?. no no noooooooooooooooooooooo
oh Doug, she agreed to the fact that fl and michigan votes would not count back then,now that she is behind her rules have changed. His name was not even on the ballot in Michigan, yes I guess that would really help her win. You proved nothing, you missed a few of my other questions just curious to see what your answer is on all of that.
this mornings speech by wright,, he had security from islam
I have tried to take the high road here, but it doesnt seem to work. Hillary Clinton is NO SAINT. It amazes me that Hillary supporters here will trash Barack Obama on anything, while all the while they know, or should know, that Hillary has as much if not more luggage she carries. How can anyone be so naive? Look at the big picture here…both candidates have skeletons and both have damaged the other….the end result will be a Republican President. Is that what you want?
People must understand that OBAMAS COLOR HAS NOTHING TO DO with it, the problem is his questionable dangerous friends he associates with and Obama’s lack of patriotism and lack of respect to the American Anthem. Just basics.
Any man with any common sense knows when to stop arguing with a woman
Barack Obama needs to move on to John McCain
Hillary Clinton cannot win against John McCain Why? Because every man out there is tired of her ragging. And, every woman out ther knows her games
The things is Hillary is unfit to be president. She’s a liar and she and Bill Clinto have already disgraced the Whit House once
The governor of New Yorek resigned because of his sex scandal. Senators that send derogatory emails to pages are forced to resing. Get caught in the bathroom propositioning someone, resign
Why in Gos’s name would we even think about putting Bill Clinton back in office
And, please don’t say Hillary wasn’t to blame
If she can’t run her own house, she can’t run the country
IF we are stupid enough to put Hillary Clinton back in the White HOuse then we deserve just what we got the last two years of the Clinton regime which by the way Hillary calls her “experience”
The only thing Hillary is experiencing at is twisiting the truth, lying, and saying and doing ANYTHING to get what she wants
IT TOOK THE LIAR, OBAMA, ONE DAY TO DEMAND DON IMUS BE FIRED FOR MAKING AN UGLY JOKE. OBAMA PLAYED THE RACE CARD.
IT TOOK THE LIAR, OBAMA, 20 YEARS TO ADMIT TO HEARING ANTI-AMERICAN, RADICAL, HATEFUL REMARKS BY HIS BUDDY JEREMAH WRIGHT! HE THREW HIS WHITE GRANDMOTHER UNDER THE BUS, TRYING TO PROTECT WRIGHT.
HE STILL HAS NOT ADMITTED THE ANTI-AMERICAN, HATEFUL REMARKS MADE BY HIS WIFE.
HE ONLY ADMITTED TO THE NAFTA MEETING AFTER HE GOT CAUGHT.
HE ONLY ADMITTED TO CONNECTIONS TO AYERS, REZKO, FARRAKHAN, AND MANY OTHERS, AFTER HE GOT CAUGHT.
Character and values are very important. It is fair to ask a candidate running for PRESIDENT questions regarding these issues. It is ridiculous to think otherwise.
This youtube video of Bill Ayers is extremely disturbing and important concerning Obama’s connections with this terrorist.

OBAMA HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES!
@npeebles
At this point I think Hillary would actually be a better president than Obama. I can’t stand Hillary either, but of the two I think Hillary is a safer choice.
JUST ME, here we go again. I have said before and I will say it again ALLLLLLLL POLITICIAN LIE AND CARRY PLENTY OF LUGGAGE.
The biggest problems is when a candidate like Obama carries with him DANGEROUS, ANTIAMERICAN LUGGAGE that can eventually lethal for Americans. Can you see?. I have nothing against Obama as a person but for a president there is nooooo way I can’t support a man like him, I don’t care what party affiliation he is, color, race or gender. I won’t help to bring the dangerous wolfs to the american den.
4MYCOUNTRY ….and it took Hillary getting caught that made her admit she lied about Bosnia…yadda yadda yadda
Obama wont debate. He knows it will make him look bad again. He knows it will expose more negatives about him again. He doesnt want people to know he is as dirty as any other politician since hes trying to be the “hope” and “change” man.
BTW “hope” for what? What kind of “change”? Judging by his policies I would say the “change” is to socialism. Dont know what the “hope” is. Maybe you Obama supporters can clear this up for us?
LovAmerica….Dangerous, anti-american? Name one thing Barack Obama has said that is dangerous to this country or antiamerican….NOT HIS ASSOCIATES…him.
Nora, I feel your pain! No Hillary supporter is willing to look into her past! I don’t necessarily support Obama and he will suffer the consequences of his own actions if they are questionable…flat out. I think the Reverend is completely Whacked!! I feel strongly that the Pres. Pardon issues really reveal a lot about her character. Simple decisions gone very wrong. Years from now books will be written about The Great Clinton Fraud and how dumb we all were to allow to go on for so long. Shame.
After 21 debates, I can’t imagine for the life of me why anyone should be unacquainted with where these two candidates stand on the issues - unless you’ve been living under a rock. To tell the truth, they could have stopped after debate number 10.
What is interesting though is that most adults I know, when they put a proposal to another adult and the person says no, the other adult moves along. Obama has already clearly said no to another debate, yet Clinton keeps asking the same question with slight variation. That’s like a child who has been told it can’t have something, yet continues to pester and nag. What next? She’s going to stamp her feet, pout and go into a screaming fit if she can’t have her way?
So if a grown, adult leader of a sovereign country - say, Australia - says no to her request to send more of its troops to Afghanistan, what’s Clinton going to do? Keep badgering him with the same request day after day.
Time to act like an adult, lady.
i beg your pardon obama could have been on the ballot he chose not too. i live in florida and i want no i demand my vote be counted noone told us that it would not count this is all a lie. they sent many messages about obama here on our tvs. but they are saying no one campained here . thats what they and i dont know who they are. are saying. i want my vote to count . they are trying to rip us off again for some reason. looks like thm there florians are at it again eh.
Its getting to the point that neither Hillary nor Obama will win in November, the problem here is how this chaotic Party is trying to declare a nominee. Excluding 2 large states where clearly Hillary was the peoples choice, also by validating chaotic caucauses like in Texas where Obama was declarecd the winner after Sen Clinton had ALREADY won the CERTIFIED PRIMARIES.
ALL this HAS CREATED ANGUISH AND RESENTMENT between both candidates and their supporters. ALL this mess thank you to the moronic decisions of Howard Dean and the other insane politicians.
Debating Clinton now would just lend her credibility as a possible winner of the nomination. If the woman can’t properly run a campaign then she has no business running an administration.
She is an idiot. Has she ever READ the transcripts of the Lincoln/Douglas debates? They went on for hours, and each man spoke for long periods of time, and well (http://www.nps.gov/archive/liho/debates.htm) That’s not what she want, really… she wants short, focus group polished jabs.
Really America, aren’t you tired of all this? Is this the best we can do?
I beg your pardon, they were told the votes would not count, it is not anyones fault but your party leader in Fl and Michigan. No one campaigned there is right. I agree I would not like it if my vote did not count. I am asking why didn’t she complain about this sooner instead of waiting till she was behind, do you see the point I am trying to make? If from the time it happened she would of been complaining that would be something to admire, not waiting till you are losing and now it is important.
There is no need to argue a substantial rationale for another debate. Hillary Clinton needs this debate to survive, to continue her desperate run, point blank.
This is totally a tactical effort on her part because she knows that she has everything to gain and nothing to lose with this sham debate.
If Obama debates her and pose the gritty questions, the type that they do in a typical Lincoln-Douglas debate, she won’t have a rebuttable response. How is she going to respond to all of the potential grit that can be dug up from her 30 years of public and private service?-(remember, this is a Lincoln Douglas debate)
How will she respond if Obama questions her on issues such as:
*The Rose Law firm
*Vince Foster
*Paula Jones
*Web Hubbell
*The cash for Pardon’s issue (fair is fair, she counting Bill’s tenure as part of her political exp)
* The Peter Paul/Stan Lee lawsuit
And the hits go on and on and on………………………………………..
I could fill up this page with at least 20 times more of what’s listed here….Remember; she wants a Lincoln-Douglas debate.
So let’s see this for what it really is and stop trying to make a substantive argument out of it…….its political tactical warfare.
PATWAL, their issues are not in question here they can say anythin they want easyly but the quality and questionable character of Obama, he goes around preaching sweet inspirational somethings, those speaches are not even written by him.
He needs to convince the american people why he is runing for president when his special friends hate america and its governemt, why, why, why??? Obama should have never been allowed to be a presidential candidate to start with. NEVER! (color has NOTHING to do with it, nothing!)

Did the people of FL and MI set the date of the primary?? NO. The people that made the decision should be on the stand here. The shame of it is that the decision to move the date was not so well thought out….and now those votes are in question.

Debating Clinton now would just lend her credibility as a possible winner of the nomination. If the woman can’t properly run a campaign then she has no business running an administration.

I wouldn’t count Hillary out of the race yet, Obama could always say another stupid thing that reveals who he is. In all fairness, most of her problems in the race has been her husband needing to be muzzled.
LovAmerica …Do you think Hillary writes all her speeches?…Do you think that when a candidate goes on a news show they havent already agreed to a line of questioning?… If Hillary loves america so much, then why is she allowing her husband to be the nations highest paid foriegn lobbyists? Dubai, Columbia?..when did they become states?
credibillty? she has credibilty. for god sake you people are either too young or too stupid to remember the good times of the 90s . no war money in the bank the world loved and respected us , many good things happened. amwerica was at peace. and we slept pretty good at night. so what part of the clinton presint did you not like.
GO OBAMA! YOU’RE #1 IN MY HOUSE FORGET ABOUT BILL@HILLARY THE’RE TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY, PEOPLE RESEARCH HILLARY’S PAST. LIES ABOUT WHITEWATER, LIES ABOUT VINCE FOSTER, LIES ABOUT COMING UNDER FIRE, FAKE TEARS, WHAT A FAKE! GIVE ME A BREAK,
