Let's hope Wisconsin people are smart enough to see through this desperate plea. What a joke. He's debating her in 2 weeks and again a week after that. He doesn't want to give you any more free air time. Why doesn't Hillary sell us on her vision of a better America? She seems incapable of doing anything other than attack, attack, attack. No to the Professor. Yes to a President.

There are 2 debates in the next 3 weeks. Why does she want more than that? Just because she can't get TV time doesn't mean Obama has to bend over backwards for her so that she can get her face on the air. Maybe, she should spend that time campaigning in Wisconsin rather than ignore it completely and campaign in the big states.

If it wasn't for California she would be out of this. If it wasn't for the Democratic Party's system of voting, she would be virtually non-existant.
-----------------------------------------------------
Actually, if the Dem's system were winner take all, Hillary would have the lead right now (if my system of awarding delegates on a winner take all basis is correct).

Of all the delegates awarded to date, if they went to the person who (by percentage) won the state, this is the delegate total I get:

Clinton -- 1069
Obama -- 998

Still extremely close, but with the shoe on the other foot, so to speak.

Hey First Read, anyway to verify that info? Who would have the most delegates on the Dem side if it were winner take all, not proportional?

Thank you!
Voters, do you see the consequences of Obama accepting the debate? In your educated minds, do you see the deceptive strategies the Clintons are employing in a desperate attempt to stay competitive? Do you feel it should be up to voters to judge candidates by their performance on critical issues such as finances and leadership in the campaign and not be influenced in any way by any candidate's strategies laden with deceptions that only theducated mind could grasp?

On this issue of mandates, those who don't, whether it's 10 million or 15 million, those who could afford it but don't wind up buying health insurance for one reason or another, they wind up getting sick, they go to an emergency room, all of us wind up paying for their health care. That's the biggest criticism that's been leveled at your plan.

OBAMA: If people are gaming the system, there are ways we can address that. By, for example, making them pay some of the back premiums for not having gotten it in the first place.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/31/dem.debate.transcript/

Well isn't that interesting. So he won't require these young people (the same ones going out in droves to support him) to have health coverage if they don't want it, but if they need medical treatment and don't have coverage under his wonderful plan, he's just going to turn around and make them pay back what they should have been paying in premiums all along.

You know, kind of like paying a fine. Either way, you pay.

Thanks to all those Obama supporters taht keep telling everyone to go to Obama's website. I did. Great idea.

Of course, now that I've started reading about his grand plan to save the world, I continue to find more problems and I will continue to bring those to light.

Of course this isnt true but i guess anything goes now.The trash talk, for instance, is there way of uniting,right? Telling other countrys we dont care about them and go away mind there own business.Uniting the world i guess. I shared an experience about black man pushing me and saying get used to it his time had come. I got vilafied and today i read a black man saying move over whites, world needs black leader now and its ok.This whole campaign of Obamas was built on hate,race and lies.If you cann't look at any flaws without acting like you are being villified if anyone dares suggest Obama isn't the second comeing and has flaws you will lose in November.I read ,that for the war we are in the world needs to see a black man.What is that?You mean maybe a muslim.It wont go away. Read muslim bridges.org. Obama is plastered all over the sight.It is easy to deny by accusing others but it wont wash for ever and its a long time till Nov.Well Obama congs on last night . I have no hard feelings about it.I do ,though,with you ruining the party and the country if you should win in Nov, some how.The world has seen this movement before and aren't as taken in as those you can hypnotise here. I think maybe your followers here may want to lay off Bill and look at your wife. Concieted and attitude wow.She has taken swipes at Hillary so you can stay clean. Just like those in here. Be ready as front runner now they will be looking at you. I really have no hate or anger just sadness at whats been done and how.Sounded like a threat to Hillary about the stairs? No one said a word about Obamas wife falling on stage with Opera.but than thats par.

Much of western Wisconsin is within Iowa media markets. I have to wonder how those who heard about how HRC wouldn't take any questions at her events in Iowa through most of the campaign, and then when she finally did (under media pressure/criticism)she either accused the questioner of being a "plant" from another campaign (which turned out to be baseless), or the people she called on were "planted" by her campaign, will view her new TV ad. Given there have been almost 20 debates to date, and countless "forums" that the two Democrats standing have already participated in, if "he won't debate me" is the best she can do, her campaigns in more trouble than people realize. We in Wisconsin aren't that dumb!

I'm skeptical of the need for another primary debate over whether health care must be compulsory to be considered universal, or whether martial experience (in this case very loosely defined) is key to conducting a more effective foreign policy "from
Day 1." I'd suspect that the Clinton campaign is simply looking to manufacture another "victim moment" around which to rally supporters, ala New Hampshire. Obama should decline, leaving the Los Angeles debate to stand as the record on these health care and foreign policy questions. In other words, he should pursue a "no more tears" strategy.

One person somewhat amused by the Clinton campaign's earnest call for a debate a week was her 2006 New York Senate primary challenger, Jonathan Tasini, who spent months fruitlessly demanding a debate that year.

He was met by promises from the Clinton campaign to "see how the campaign develops," a line Howard Wolfson memorably repeated to me hours before the polls opened. (b smith-politico)

------2006 Daily news article
Howard Wolfson, a Clinton spokesman, did fire a parting shot yesterday. He was asked again whether Clinton would debate her challenger. And with hours before the polls were to open, he offered the same response he's given for months: "We will see how the campaign develops," he said

Wow, that ad reminded me of a good-ol'-fashioned Romney contrast ad ...which pretty much worked out well for him.

And then listening to the content I heard: government, government, government, government.

Why should Barack Obama "debate?" The purpose of debates is to get out the candidate's messages, and Obama can do that better by bringing his messages to the people, advertisements like this one, and local news coverage. Not one debate in the past, except the one Clinton slipped up Oct-Nov. has changed anything. She's simply using it as a political excuse to explain away her losses (staff and states). I, personally, doubt she cares about much more than winning.

Kim, Pasadena, CA — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:13:13 GMT

I am weary of this old saw. There have been 18 debates already and Senator Obama has agreed to 2 more. In addition, Senator Obama does answer questions. He did so in Maryland yesterday; and, he answered questions all Summer and Fall, when Senator Clinton was hardly answering any.

I begin to believe that Senator Clinton simply wants to prevent Senator Obama from having direct contact with the voters. This is unfortunate and perhaps damaging to the Democratic prospects in the Fall. Each time Senator Obama has direct contact, the movement to change America for the better grows. Although I admire Senator McCain for his bravery and political courage, I still hope for a Democratic landslide with Senator Obama as the nominee.

Let Senator Obama speak to the People. Each person he connects to becomes a part of the effort to make America better. The more of us who become involved, the better it will be -- not just the vote totals in the Fall, but going forward into the future.

Yes we can! Obama '08.

A debate should be conducted on equal time limits on

without interruption,I have not seen that happen on

Please send Hillary a note asking her to actually make an appearance in your state. Obama's there. He's talking to factory workers and making sure people get to know him and his policies. That's far better than a debate where all the exact same questions and answers are given time after time.

Blaming the the people who got ripped off for not knowing better. Ask Obabma why he does not want to restrict forclosures for 90 days or impose regulations on he mortgage companies......you will find its because he is backed by them....for somebody who says he wants change, it looks like more of the same to me.

If I were Senator Obama I wouldn't want to debate either. He might be asked (though unlikely since the moderators all throw him slow pitches) why a major facet of his plan for combatting climate change is to build nuclear power plants. It seems an odd choice considering that there is still no viable way to dispose of the waste. He must know this since he got on the Richardson and Clinton bandwagon (reluctantly) to come out against Yucca Mountain (at least when he got to Nevada). So why would someone like Barack Obama advocate nuclear energy?

Let me answer that one for you Barack: because, according to the LA Times, in 2007 (after you declared you wouldn't take lobbyist and PAC money) you took $160,000 from the Excelon Corp., which just so happens to be the nation's largest operator of nuclear power plants. You also took $1000 checks from John P. Novack (a representative of Excelon), and James Monk, the president of the Illinois Energy Association; a trade group that represents Commonwealth Edison, an Illinois based utility company which happens to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Excelon Corp.

Or maybe he doesn't want to talk about the California lobbyists for AT&T and United Airlines gave him $2300. Or maybe he doesn't want to talk about how he took a combined $170,000 from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup who, at the time of their contribution, had numerous issues pending in Washington. They also happened to spend $4.6 million on lobbying in 2006.

Or maybe he doesn't want to talk about the fact that at an Obama fundraiser in Tallahassee he took money from Florida statehouse lobbyists representing trial attorneys, the insurance industry, fast-food chains, and sugar cane growers. Now you Obamaphiles will no doubt say that Obama only said he wouldn't take money from FEDERAL lobbyists. Well, that only goes so far, as noted by the law firm Akerman Senterfitt. Members of that firm gave Obama $7000. On its website Akerman notes, as reported in the LA Times, that, "Akerman combines Tallahassee connections with, 'an involved federal political action committee' to provide its clients 'with an enviable level of access.'"

Obama is a liar and a fraud. His new motto is, "Change you CAN believe in." But it's obvious that Obama is really change you SHOULDN'T believe in.

Once again the American electorate is proving that it will believe whatever anyone says as long as they say it enough, and the media tells them it's okay to believe it. I would think that Americans would be outraged at a candidate who makes promises, but doesn't keep them; who says he's bringing hope and change, but is really just telling new lies and playing the same old games.

Thank you Obamaphiles for proving Ken Kesey's adage true: "In any given situation there are always going to be more dumb people than smart people."

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in HRC launching an attack against Obama for not giving the voters of WI a chance to see them debate, at the same time that her other hand is trying to bag delegates in FL where the voters weren't given a campaign and a chance to hear the candidates and MI where her name was the only one on the ballot?

I was a "Clinton Supporter" until i heard Sen.Clinton said that she is a "Doer" not a person that just goes around hopeing,on the contrary she is a "hoper" by placing her name on the ballots for both Florida and Michigan hopeing to stir up some contraversy when the rules clearly stated that the candidates should not campaign there because the delegates were stripped from the contests. I see Sen.Obama as the "Doer" by doing what the rules stated and that is not campaigning in those contests.Its seems as if everytime Sen. Clinton is in a slump she argues that the media is making her seem like the "not likeable candidate!" I am looking towards giving Sen.Obama my vote!

Teri, Minneapolis, MN — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 22:49:21 GMT

My family owns a small business and has always tried to provide health care and decent wages for all of our employees. We are barely able to cover health insurance premiums despite increased co-pays and deductables. As for pay raises, we risk losing the company if we cut our margins any slimmer. My sister, a pediatrition, has studied the health plans of each candidate and concluded: Hillary's plan covers 100% of the population at a cost of $2700/per person vs Obama's, that cost $4000/per person and leaves out 15 million people. As for mandates, Medicare is also deducted as a payroll liability for every American at a rate of .029% of every dollar earned -there are no exemptions. Hillary's plan would be based on a generous enough sliding scale that low income people would not be impacted in any significant way. Hillary, in part, plans to pay for her plan by implementing electronic medical records , which would save tax payors 70 billion dollars per year- by the way, all insurance policies have a surcharge for the uninsured; therefore, is a built in tax everyone with insurance is already paying. ER's are just a more costlier way of delivering services. Obama has not listed any realistic way to pay for his health care plan. Hope without work amounts to nothing more then empty dreams. I like Obama and I think someday he will be a wonderful president, there is just to much as stake right now for ideas without plans.

HRC sounds desperate with this latest attach ad demanding a debate in WI. Obama already agreed to two more, which is more than generous after an endless string of them already. WI wasn't too important until she lost by huge margins in the last several primaries. This is a not too subtle bid for media attention and grabing headlines.

I for one am delighted to see the Clinton's squirm and wish Obama good luck!

Hillary Clinton is too emotional and does not have any loyalty,which is why her team is now beginning to jump ship. She is wants to debate Barack because she wants to argue. Barack is a well rounded candidate and he is running a clean race. Hillary's behavior is showing what type of president that she would be if in office. She can not be trusted and she and her husband have too much baggage. I am happy that the govenor of puerto rico endorsed Obama, today. Obama is the truth and everyone should acknowledge that fact.

laura, Sammamish WA — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:42:06 GMT

Obamaites are asking why should he debate in Wis.?
They want to know why the Clinton machine doesn't have any thing against Obama. THE MEDIA HAS PLENTY AND WOULD NOT ASK OBAM ANY OF THE TOUGH QUESTIONS.
HILLARY CLINTON DID BRING UP REZKO IN THE DEBATE AND IT WAS IN RESPONSE TO OBAMA THROWING OUT HIS ATTACK THAT HILLARY WAS AN ATTORNEY FOR WALLMART AT ONE TIME. OBAMA DID NOT TELL THE TRUTH WHICH WOULD BE THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH TONY RAZKO AND RITA RAZKO. OBAMA SAID THAT HE ONLY WORKED FOR ABOUT FIVE AND A HALF HOURS WHEREBY HE RESPRSENTED A COMMUNITY CHUCH GROUP INVOLVED IN HOUSING PARTNERSHIP WITH TONY RAZKO. HE WAS VERY SLICK GETTING OUT OF FUTHER QUESTIONS AND OF COURSE NO ONE FOLLOWED UP ON THAT. TONY REZKO IS BEING INDICTED ON CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. SO IF OBAMA IS THE DEM. NOMINEE, WE WILL HAVE THIS TRIAL TO WATCH ON TV FOR NETWORK RATINGS WAR. DO YOU THINK THE REPUBLICANS ORGANIZED BY KARL ROVE WILL NOT LOVE THIS? THE OBAMA/REZKO CONNECTION WENT ON FOR OVER A DECADE IN CHICAGO. REZKO CAMPAIGNED FOR OBAMA'S STATE SENATE BID. ONE OF OBAMA'S STAFF FOR THIS ELECTION WAS A LOBBIST FOR A DRUG COMPANY.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ATTENDING THE FRENZY RALLIES LISTENING TO AN INSPIRING OBAMA ARE AWARE OF THESE
ISSUES WHICH WILL BE USED BY KARL ROVE AGAINST HIM.
HE REPUBLICANS HAVE BLASED HILLARY, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO RUN AGAIN HER. OF COURSE THEIR SURROGATES ON TV WILL SAY THE OPPOSITE...IT'S ALL PART OF TAKING
HILLARY DOWN AND THEY KNOW HOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN BE MISLEAD.

SO, MAYBE OBAMA SHOULD DEBATE AND GIVE AN HONEST DISCLOSURE ON HIS INTERVIEW AND RESUME FOR THIS JOB OF PRESIDENT, AND THE VOTER CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED CHOICE BASED ON THE TRUTH. HILLARY CLINTON WOULD HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTIONS BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL.
SHE IS ACCUSED OF BEING MEAN...I THINK SHE SHOULD BE
REALLY MEAN, SHE HAS BEEN TOO NICE. BIG MISTAKE TO HAVE BILL CLINTON COOL IT, MICHELE OBAMA IS OUT THERE MAKING NASTY STATEMENTS, YET BECAUSE SHE IS THE LOVELY WIFE NO ONE CAN CRITIZE HER.

I HAVE READ SO MANY REALLY MEAN-SPIRITED, TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS ABOUT HILLARY THAT PEOPLE REALLY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR SELVES. NAME-CALLING IS CHILDISH. CALLING THE CLINTONS RACIST, IS BEING RACIST YOURSELF. THE CLINTON'S HAVE WORKED HARD MAKE ALL AMERICAN'S LIVES BETTER AND CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE.

Maybe Senator Clinton wants a less biased media event to help voters review the solidity of the candidates and their ability to offer solutions. Clearly this is not Sen Obama's strength because frankly he is junior to her as an accomplished public servant, and a leader. Sen Clinton cares and studies the important issues to whomever she is addressing. This is her strong suit and clearly something we should all want in the White House. Another debate takes the press coverage out of the emotional and into a real discussion of the candidate's positions and their differences.

It should be quite clear to the Clinton supporters than the majority of us do not believe it is Hilary's "turn" to be president. I think this is what aggravates them the most, that a young upstart has upset their vision of 8 more years of Clinton. The presidency is not a monarchy, Bill was a good president, but Hillary does not have title to the job because of her marriage to him. It's time for some new ideas and a leader that can unite us as one people, not somebody selling divisions of the past.

He uses techniques of persuasion,and smoke and mirrors to get his votes. ITS LIKE HE'S IN CHURCH... WHERE IS THE SUBSTANCE?? I can understand after these PAST 8 years how we are all yearning for change, but as the moderator asked him in one of the debates "with no foreign relations experience and having so many ex Clinton advisors how do you explain this change you keep rambling on about"?? do you people remember that question? Obama's answer was "Hillary I'm looking forward to you advising me as well" WHAT?? THE MEDIA IS GIVING HIM A PASS, YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF WHY??

About this universal healthcare..I need coverage, I need it affordable, currently we pay over $500 bi-weekly and that is ridiculous! I need the same coverage for less money, but I don't need my wages garnished to MAKE me broker! It is not factual that Mr. Obama is a muslim and furthermore, exactly why so much murmuring about it!? When he denies something, you say he's lying. When she denies something, you say she's lying. Whichever candidate moves you...vote for them...otherwise shut up! Debates are boring, their is not enough time for either one to BORE us with the nuts and bolts of their issues.

Barack Obama as the son of an immigrant father who left his family when he was two years old has overcome incredible odds. He is a man of obvious intellect and integrity. A fresh breeze to do away with the sixteen years of stank in the White House we have suffered through. Yes the Clinton years were better than the Bush ones but should we be proud of Bill? He left and the democrats lost the House of Representatives, the Senate and of course the White House. Not so great a legacy verdad?

Vote for Obama and our country will be viewed with respect again around the world and we will use our treasure for good like education, health care, and Americas infrastructure.

We are spilling blood daily and spending our hard owned cash in massive amounts for a war that should never have been fought. I am a Cuban American U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, my grandfather fought in WW1 and my son fought in Iraq. Barack Obama has it right that our enemies were right were we needed them in Afghanistan and we let them get away and now they are getting stronger regardless of what George W. And his surge b.s. tell you. Guns vs butter plain and simple. We need to vote for change before we are totally broke both financially and morally.

From a mixed racial background to President of the Harvard law review, to community organizer, to U.S. Senator, to President of the United States. This story is the American Dream in real life. Latinos vote for someone of mixed race born to a teen mother who took this start and made all of us immigrant children proud. SI SE PUEDE CON BARACK OBAMA SI SE PUEDE!! YES WE CAN INDEED!!

These are my opinions and I am sticking to them!

Hillary deserves to loss the elction. I could not see why they have to run in the first place.
1. She speakes countless times about her experience. She has to stop talking about Obama's experience because Obama wants to change the type of politics that she has. That is the politics the world is tired of. Making decision on smoking yard over turning the interest of voters.
2. Attack, Attack, attack, attack, attack. Just poor delight of little mind. Why is she always on the attack card???? the good thing is that it backfires on her as the American people knows what we need. We do not need her to tell us about Obama.
3.She does not have the habit of congratulating her opponents. It means that she is a kind of ill advised woman who has been completely slaughered by jalousy.
4. She does not have the habit of respecting race and small size states. She is collecting the consequences now.
5. Argument of my husband: My husband has been good for blacks and latinos so they have to vote for me. Yes but her husband is not gonna be the president. She is the one running. Why people vote just for her because of Bill???????It is just shame. I do not see the logic over it. Are you guys going to vote for her doughter too soon or later?
6. Attacking obama for not having debate with her. This is just to get free air space as her campaign is running out of money. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
/. She has to retun her tax card and let us know where she got the $5 million dollar dropped on her campain. No need to afraid if there is nothing wrong with it. If i am the dem nominee, i will kkkkkkkkkkkkkk, Which means we have to give her our vote just o see her tax card returned.kkkkkkkkkkkkk

Maybe we should vote for you Ann. You seem to have all the answers and can tell everything about a person by their name. WOW, what a gift. I wish I could do that. GIVE ME A BREAK! One of the most important qualities that we need right now in our President is the ability to unite people. Our current President has a 30% approval rating and our country is in shambles. Getting the people to buy-in to whatever you are doing is paramount. Without support you can't do anything. Bottom line: People either love Hillary or they hate her and that is not the case with Barack Obama. He is uniting all people and energizing everyone about the process. Oh, right there are some people out there that don't like him because of his name, but in my opinion they are too ignorant of the whole process and American values in general to even be allowed to vote. That is the most disgusting thing that I have heard in my life and you should be ashamed to be such a shallow person. I'm glad you are not an Obama supporter because the campaign definitely doesn't need people like you.

Hillary's money problems and her dubious practices before and after super Tuesday really show that as a Clinton, she will do anything to win even if it hurts her party. Here is how.
In order to keep the hispanic vote, she waited to win super tuesday before firing Doyle Solis. It would have looked bad going in. Now the hispanics know her game and some have called her on that.
She lent $5million to her campaign and some of her top aides were going to forgo they pay. She hid this so that her crumbling effort would not fall prematurely, so much for disclosure.
She is doing the "Musharaff" with her tax returns: vote for me then I'll show you my taxes. We remember the dictator who would resign from the army only AFTER confirmation by a :kangoroo" court.
Her Giuliani strategy (remember Florida) will fail miserably and her call for debates in WI is more of a need to preserve her dwindling resources than a true desire to bring anything new to the voters. She should spend the time in WI meeting the voters if she really.
Going negative is part of the Clintons' playbook and tradition. Inevitability gone, it's time to show her true colors, what elsr does she have to show? Crocodile tears?
