Is she going to trounce those "military leaders" around everywhere? I think a quote one of them made earlier today is pretty problematic... that she isn't afraid to "pull the trigger". Where were these military leaders when she was singing the blessings of the Iraq War and voting for this whole mess? She still hasn't told us what she learned from her gross mistake.

Uh, because we don't need a debate in each and every state, maybe the candidates should actually spend time interacting with the State's voters!

Uh, and also because the last debate was a hatchet job and you jumped right in wielding the ax Clinton. So, no, not going to "debate" you when you don't have a debate in mind. Oh well, the front-runner (that would be Obama) might just prefer to spend his time talking about issues instead of junk.

I know you didn't ask me, but those would be my answers for Obama.

Looks like hillary is expecting Obama to crawl under a rock and not debate.

The only reason she wants to debate him, is so she can try to make him look weak.

I think he should debate her, so he can redeem himself from the last time, and send her packing once and for all.

Barack, you gotta show her she's not the only fighter in the room.

Oh Goodness, there have been 21 debates so far. And Senator Clinton cancelled the 1st NC debate (scheduled for April 19) because she claimed it would disrespect passover to have it on that day.... but, she made three campaign stops that same day in Pennsylvania.

Funny, isn't it? The Clinton campaign always good for a spin -- try not to get too dizzy, you might vomit.

Gary-Chicago — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:27:44 GMT

As a former Clinton contributor I was recently solicited to email my thoughts to Geoff Garin, Clinton's new Chief Strategist….some kind of outreach program, I assume.

Here is some of what I wrote:
Dear Geoff:

Drop out. That would be my advice. Your team put up a good fight but it's over. You're actually making a lot of us very tired.

Have your candidate make her speech after the next primaries thanking the wonderful people of NC & IN - and the entire country - and then have her throw her support to Senator Obama for unity's, her Party's and America's sake. She could go out on a high note (possibly even a winner in Indiana).

This would instantly restore her greatly diminished credibility and help get back the support she has lost within the party and the Senate and become a true leader in helping possible new President Obama to shape and pass legislation. Eventually she can replace Harry Reid (this might be good for you and Howard Wolfson going forward as well).

Otherwise, she walks away from this, still the loser, but with culpability (deserved or not) for damaging what had been shaping up as a transcendent Democratic year, albeit one in which she is no longer the person to bring this agenda home.

It's too late for her to become the nominee in any real world scenario other than one which would be so bitterly divisive that's the thought alone is horrific. Make a rousing endorsement speech for Senator Obama. Those negatives will get cut in half, Bill's legacy may eventually be restored and her successful future will be assured.

Gary - from Chicago

Why should he debate her when he's already beaten her? Seems silly to me.

But, I'd like to see him take her lying *** on.

I think it's time for him to take the fight to her, put her under the microscope about trying to change the rules of the race and attempting to hijack the party by redefining how Democrats determine the part nominee. Make her try to justify why it's ok to disenfranchise Michigan voters who couldn't even vote for him. Make her explain why the entire nation's voters – who have given him the popular vote and pledged delegate lead – should be ignored by superdelegates.

Call her lies out!

Clinton presses Obama for NC debate

BL, Cincinnati OH — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:28:40 GMT

If she wanted to debate in NC then she should have accepted the debate date that Obama agreed to WEEKS ago.

___
She said that each upcoming state deserves their own debate, because “the issues in Pennsylvania are not the same as the issues in North Carolina,” and “the issues in North Carolina aren’t the same as the issues in Indiana."
___

Except they never debate the ISSUES, just more tabloid crap and then Hillary ranting on about health care details for 30 minutes. She doesn't give a crap about NC or Indiana, she's just using it to score points.

-They hate men

-They are bitter, jealous, racists both male, and

-They are closed to hope, and full of fear

No other explanation is reasonable.

Obama is in a bad spot here. He will look supremely weak and scared if he continues to turn down these debates with the lame excuse that there have been too many already.

How many meetings with the Israli/Palestinians will be too many? How many meetings with the Iranians will be too many? How many meetings with the North Koreans will be too many? How many will it take you to get pissy and take your marbles and go home?

Why shouldn't the citizens of North Carolina and Indiana and every remaining state get the economic boon that these encounters bring? All those newspeople spending money on hotels, restaurants, transportation. NC isn't in the trouble some other states are but it seems to me Indiana especially could use the cash. You can help them NOW.

Since the next "debate" will likely be like the last several and similar to the prestated low-life slugfests without real substance and simply attacking one or both of the candidates, I see no real value in having another one.

I already have sworn off ABC (haven't watched a single program or commercial since the last farce) and refuse to watch Fox "News." I am running out of quality news reporting. Please don't make another reason for me to stop watching another network.

OK, let's see this appears to be the first on the list. Hillary Clinton is showing the American voters that she is leaning heavily on her husband's support. It is also remarkable that when she goes into any State she compliments that constituency for something or other. Now in No. Carolina it is the sunshine state, the best place to be in the summer. Really! I always thought that my State of South Carolina was one of the most colorful places to be in the summer. And, we down here also love our barbecue treats. Come on. Is this all she has to offer Nor. Carolina? She should tell the people in that State how her healthcare plan will cover every American in the country and will be affordable to all. Haven't we heard this before? And, can she get us out of Iraq or does she believe that we should be there permanently?

There is no reason to debate her here in NC. She will not want to really discuss the issues that are effecting the people of NC.
I am so tried of the lies and half-truths HRC tells.
She has already lost this primary fight and is just trying to make sure Barack can't win in November so that she can say "I told you so". I think that it is disgusting that the Media and The DNC has not stepped in to say enough is enough.
There are people that say we as black people automatically jumped on the Barack bandwagon because he is black are mistaken. There was a time early on that I was really leaning towards HRC, but because of her continued negativity there is no way I could.
She really turned me off with the comment that she would have left the church if Pastor Wright were her pastor. Being married to a pastor gives me a little insight into this. My husband has said things that I certainly do not agree with over the past 20 years, does that mean I should have left not only my church but my marriage also? What needs to happen is the media needs to report things in a fair and even manner and stop making the littlist thing into a major issue. We have really real and big issues to deal with other than who said what when.

She is trying to steal this nomination and if the super delegates allow it, I am willing to wage an all out war against the democratic party. Clinton's policies and tactics are devisive, cruel and inhumaine. Have you heard her in North Caroling and Indiana talk???? She sees to have aquired an accent so she can be one of them? If John Edwards had any balls at all he would come out and support Obama in his state. That would send Hillary packing.

Clinton presses Obama for NC debate

I believe Obama might want to consider debating here. I would love to see him bring up her membership in the right-wing nutcase organization called "The Fellowship" or "The Family". This is some scary stuff - a group of people who are supposedly gathering in a religious group who worship power. You can find articles about The Family or The Fellowship at several websites including Mother Jones, The Nation (magazine) and The Atlantic Monthly (magazine). When you read about her relationship with this organization and her willingness to use nukes wouldn't we just be getting another George Bush dressed up in a woman's clothes?

Folks, this is all old hat. Everyone knows Clinton and Obama have already set a record for primary debates, with 21.

Remember: CLINTON IS BROKE. Translation: She needs free publicity. Hence, her clarion call for debates.

When you are the leading candidate, you don't need to take risks. Obama earned his lead between February and March. Hence, he has no need to chase after her.

Everyone saw what happened with "Charlie Gibson's War" nine days ago, when George Stephanopoulos did everything except put on a Hillary lapel pin. Why should Obama subject himself to a CBS debate moderated by Katie Couric, another Clinton supporter?

Please give Indiana and North Carolina a chance for a debate. Stop running Mr.Obama. What are you afraid of? YOu are the winner already so whats the difference? I do not think it is in your best interest to not face Hillary in a debate. Once again you are out of touch with the American people. You are running away from re-votes in Florida and Michigan, the only thing you are not running away from is your pastor. Hmmm judgement?
