Obama, you gotta push it!!!!! Do we really want another Clinton in office?

Didn't we see enough of Hillary already? Standing by her 35 plus years of political experience really isn't the best background…hasn't anyone told her we US citizens are sick to death of the same old politics? Is she going to win the office and then go through some kind of dramatic change?

And her age IS a factor - no one's afraid to tell John McCain - obviously no one wants to mention this to Hillary. She's just too old. She looks really rough just from the time she's spent on the campaign trail. She'll never survive the rigors of President of the US. And I'm a female that would love to vote for the first female president.

And really Bill….stay at home!

This is to prevent Obama from being where he needs to be — out on the trail.

Obama will continue to lead and distribute purity and honesty, nevertheless Clinton can't seem to be honest and 100% with all of her answers. We need a president who will make change to this country, and that is OBAMA 08

Senator Obama's strength comes from getting "with" the people on the ground. Senator Clinton's 8 years in the WH gave her many such opportunities. Once-a-week debates (like using TIVO) are intended to prevent us from seeing his crowds at rallies, hearing him speak and answer questions in person, unfiltered by the so-called pundits of the media. This is a Clinton tactic from a weakening campaign; don't fall for it.

64-year-old woman and I'm for Obama and real change

Hillary is running out of money, this is why she wants the Debates. They said that on Television today. Barack FOR SURE is not afraid of a debate. He is a fighter! YOU GO BARACK!

All of you people out there who criticise and down Barack or anyone else who presents fresh ideas to make things work for the American people are just like some of them that are now working in the whitehouse. This is what Barack is trying to change, the mentality of people. He is a man who wants to work together with all people for the common cause. This is why we don't get anything done in the White House. Always a power struggle. This is why the United States is in the shape it is in right now. EGO! Thinking about there ownselves instead of the American people. It's time for something new and fresh who can get the job done and can work with people. We cannot afford again to choose someone who is incompetent and who is not working in the best interest of the American people.
There is nothing fresh and new about Hillary. Hillary is not forerunner yet, so lets all be meek and humble in our thoughts.

Obama is the only one that I have ever seen besides John Kennedy that could and would get the job done! I sincerely believe that. He is fresh and comes with new ideas on change for the better for the American people. We have to move on America. Lets put someone in there who can get the job done. He needs are help. Lets do everything we can to support him. Those of you who are only in word, must also display deed so we can help Obrack get where he has to go, THE WHITEHOUSE..

Obama is the man for change. He has integrity and is superior in bringing all people together to get the job done. His message is about uniting and changing the white house mentality as well as working for the common good of the American people. I'M FOR THAT! YES WE CAN!

Obama does not want to debate. Half the people that support him does not know what he really stands for.

Vote Obama!!!

I am a born again Holy Spirit filled man speaking my heart… I am 47 years old and white and non partizen.
I believe it is time for positive change and it is high time we the people took responsibility for our selves. Universal Healthcare is a good idea but we must as a majority, live healthier so that folks who really need health care have it.

I beleive it would be better if each canidate gave us a 15 minute speach and Then a debate all in one day because I want to see who can go toe to toe with McCaine! also do we really want to chance further embarresment from Former President Clinton? As……..First Man?

Obama won mostly red states. That doesn't bode well in the general election when those states are likely to go Republican anyways.

Red Democrat,

"Hillary has better name-recognition."
In times of change i wouldn't call it advantage, we're not talking about DVD-Players here. Name recognition might work for ignorants or uneducated people, but in this case it is rather the opposite. "Clinton" has some worn out aftertaste. 20th century. I guess it's a perspective thing, though.

"Hillary has more money."
"Some people say" she's a bit short on campaign money. Hence the Fox deal? What's all the money worth if the person appears totally artificial? You can't buy all the people, you're really poor if you have to. Wealth shouldn't play any role in elections, but unfortunately it does.

"Hillary is better in debates."
Technically maybe. Shrill parrot talk might impress naive folks but puts them to sleep shortly after. I rather listen to authentic HUMAN stutter. Nobody is perfect, but Hillary wants to be. Also, the more Barack talks, the more popular he gets, his appearance is really calm and presidential.

"Hillary has Bill."
..because without him she wouldn't be where she is. This is about Hillary not Billary. Yet she seems to need his support.

"Hillary wants to win."
They all want to win but i think Barack has more fun doing his thing, which is healthy for the back. Hillary is doing it for herself, not for the people. I dislike this "at all costs" approach, it smells bad and will lead to misery. Hillary has some skills but she's a maniac (just look at her pics over the net with her eyeballs almost popping out) and the personification of crave and fall. History will decide.

I totally agree that if she was leading with a high percentage, she would not be asking for debates. She is stunned! She thought she was a shoe in for the position.
Something to think about. I constantly hear how Bill Clinton was the first 'black' president and that they both totally understand the trials and tribulations that African-Americans are still faced with. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME he was stopped because he was driving an expensive car? Think about.
They have both played the gender card and the race card and are showing their true colors.

I would love to see hillary Clinton in the white house and hope she wins. Obama is a good orator but that seems to be the limit to his credentials……This country needs to have a strong leader come in which I truly believe Clinton is. I do hope everyone realises that with voting for Obama they might just be voting for a very good actor / performer versus a seasoned and capable leader.

Cheers to Hillary - we really do need a clinton back in the white house to clean up after the Bush reign !!!!!

Calling for lots of debates is not the kind of move a frontrunner makes.

It is not in his favor for two primary reasons. One, she gets free use of air time. Two she has her husband campaigning while Obama himself is stalled debating.

It is not only not in his best interest, but it gives Hillary an unfair advantage.

Oh that's right; Obama and his supporters only want him to do scripted speeches since he doesn't do well on the spot. Doesn't like to answer questions about detail, only likes to talk in generalizations about change.

The lady who would be king should be careful what she wishes for.

Uh hello Dave; Yes, Obama has refused to do debates. He claimed they were pointless. Haven't been on the Obama train long have you?

Yes, Yes, Yes! The ratings would be high! I rarely watch T.V. because it is so "Reality" driven about "Reality" that I am not interested in. However, Hillary and Barack hammering out the issues, I am there! Please do it!

She is weak at campaigning and good at debating.
Since she is better at debating than campaigning, why not request more debates.
Everywhere Obama goes to campaign, he does remarkably well so there is an added benefit in keeping him off the campaign trail and restricting his movements to be at the debate locations.

Red Democrat……..DITTOS…………..Well Said and Bravo!

Obama should have responded yes. Is he afraid that voters will start realizing that he is just alot of hype? That he lacks substance on specific issues? Maybe he's afraid that voters will start asking: WHERE'S THE BEEF?

You know, it's interesting to see how many people on Obama's side are AGAINST the idea of more debates. Why is that? How on EARTH is discourse and debate a bad idea in a political contest? All the comments seem to reflect that more debates are favorable to Hillary. I agree - but don't we want the chance to choose the BEST player to represent our team? Why should we (as the democratic party) SHIELD Obama from these contests just so he doesn't get hurt? Isn't that the same as admitting that he's a weaker candidate? I like Obama. I think he'd be a SHOE-IN in 2016, and I bet he'd be great. But right now, Clinton is the Democratic party's biggest gun. Shouldn't we use our biggest gun in the upcoming gunfight? Shouldn't we PAVE THE WAY for an Obama presidency before sending the fresh-faced newcomer into battle? Isn't the possibility of 16 years democratic control of the white house better than the possibility of 8? He's young. He can run again.

Obama stutters in debates. He blinks a lot. He's not GREAT at them. I think that means he needs a few years practice. We're not picking a president, we're picking a CANDIDATE to run in a RACE. Why go with our second best? Is is just because liberals like to root for the underdog? Seriously, Obama supporters, EXPLAIN it to me. I like him too, but is he ready for the big leagues if he can't hold his own in a debate?

"Hillary has better name-recognition."
"Hillary has more money."
"Hillary is better in debates."
"Hillary has Bill."
"Hillary wants to win."

Personally I find that last item a refreshing change from '04 and '00, but I keep hearing Obama supporters mention these points like they're BAD things.
Obama supporters please respond: Don't say it's not FAIR that she's a stronger cadidate… Explain why we don't want those strengths on our side come November. Why throw all that over the rail?
And don't forget, I like Obama too, so don't accuse me of bashing.
Why does the democratic party CHOOSE to remain divided on this? Seriously, I'd love some Obama supporters to respond.

hi bilary supporters, has obama refused any debate? why are you wasting your time and debating on what somebody has not said. this is the same as changing obamas records and words; the tactics bill used in the past. Obama has not refused any debate so stop blackmailing him.

PAST vs FUTURE
LIGHT vs DARKNESS
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

CHANGE WE WILL

Here America!!!,

If you want to work for a poor boss, go for Obama. If you want to work for a rice boss go for Hillary. that the different between those two.

It just like a car saleman and the car owner.
You can email if you know better than me

I hear dumb people. There they are over there saying things just to hear themselves talk. A debate a week, what a pathetic request. Hillary is so experienced that she will think every little issue to death and then come to the American Citizens with a long-winded story and tears as to why we should agree with her. Obama bashers are just upset because they realize that Obama is the best choice for president. Get over yourselves Clintons it's Obama's turn to lead this country.

Barron:

Obama is the headliner. He would never be her V.P… he is the star…. perhaps she can be secretary of health.

Okay Kids, FACE IT, Look for a CLINTON/OBAMA Ticket in November. Democrats want to WIN the White House. So stop all this division. UNITE Dems!

If Hillary wins big tonight, will she still demand a debate every week for the remainder of the campaign? I bet she will not, since she would be afraid of making a mistake, and Senator Obama would be free to go for a knock out punch.

If you Clinton supporters didn't have your heads so far up Hillary's ***hole you would have already went to Obama's website and LOOKED at the very DETAILED plans he has for the country.

How can Hillary win a debate when she does not even answer the questions. When she is asked a question she gives spin and not a straight honest answer.

I want someone who talks straight not a person who talks out of both sides of their mouth like Hillary.

Hillary is as phony as a 3 dollar bill. Obama is correct, she will say anything to get elected except give a straightforward answer to a question.

She must think the American people are pretty dumb.

All of the Obama backers haven't checked who this man is and you are entrusting him the presidency of the USA? This man is a creation of the media. No substance and lots of fanfarre so called 'inspiration' with no real change. Barack Husein Obama is his full name. His father and grandfather are islamic foreigners, and part of Obama's family is islamic. This is true, do your background check. Another fact: Rezko (in jail now for bribery of politicians) helped Obama buy his current million dollar home. Another fact. Check for yourselves. There is nothing different about this guy, wake up america ! You are drinking his coolaid.

I am a 16 year old supporter of Barack Obama. I have been doing all that I can to help his campaign

As you can see by the comments, regarding the issue of debating weekly, our audience is very immature. Guys have your fun, someday you will understand the real purpose of voting. We all vote for the candidate that we like. This is America, and that stand for Freedom to choose. I don't know why Mrs. clinton wants a weekly debate, but its her chose to suggest, and Obama's chose to refuse. We are a Democrats, and our stand is to support our party. Win, lose or draw Mrs. Clinton is in the race to win as Obama. Lets support them, they are our leaders in the Democratic Party.

"
If there are debates, which I agree with Hillary Clinton there should be, could someone tell Obama that it is very ignorant to raise his finger while the other candidate is talking.

If he was a true professional he would know that during a debate there is a question and answer phase and a rebuttal phase.
"

I think ALL the candidates need to learn how a debate works - no one seems to follow good debate procedure. On that note, though, I really hope that someone can get a new stock photo for these articles.

You ask WHY??? How about , lets keep Barak off the road and too busy repeating the same thing on TV every week while the REAL Clinton who is running for office has 100% of HIS time to Campaign. I am not sure why she wants to Debate him so bad…she Always look like the Slippery non-answer type and he outshines her everytime with Facts and straight answers.

UGH. Just tell your supports to go to your website and read your stuff and compare it with his website. Why more debates?? What a WASTE of time. All they do is cover 2-3 issues plus random stupid questions.

There have been at least 15 debates already. Why should any Democrat agree to debate on Fox News, the Republican channel? I hope Obama doesn't fall for this trick. Hillary's just trying to get free publicity.

There is nothing wrong with debating. Why are the Obama supporters overall so bothered by this..This election is about issues.
Jaena, why does it matter to you what the ratings were for the town hall meeting. Ratings are like polls, mean very little. Did you watch? Or do you prefer to also speculate about Clinton like other Obama supporters who do not take the time to research canidates.

Hillary will prevail in 08

If there are debates, which I agree with Hillary Clinton there should be, could someone tell Obama that it is very ignorant to raise his finger while the other candidate is talking.

If he was a true professional he would know that during a debate there is a question and answer phase and a rebuttal phase.

Lower the hand Obama. It is very annoying.

THE U.S. ELECTION is very important because whoever wins the Presidential election on 2008, it will affect not only Americans but also billions of people around the world. HILLARY IS THE BEST CHOICE. THE WORLD WILL BE IN GOOD HAND UNDER HILLARY. I FERVENTLY HOPE SHE WIN.

I wouldn't suggest having a debate once a week. Although we could hear more of them from Hillary and Obama just to clarify of few other important issues they stand for. Hillary's strength of being a great communicator and organizer and someone who gets-the-job-done comes from all the years she worked as an attorney, child advocate, woman leader, wife of a: politician, former governor and former president and now as a senator herself. Hillary will stand up and do more for our country than her counterpart. We need to send her back to the White House so she can continue her service to the American people.

Er… Who are these people who claim that Clinton should be the nominee because ONLY SHE can beat the Republicans???

Have you looked at the competition, lol? McCain? Romney? Huckabee?

Obama would make mincemeat of any of these clowns just as easily as Clinton could. If anything… the fact that Clinton is so disliked nationwide makes HER the risky nominee.

When Ohio votes, Obama gets MY vote.

I believe Hillary will win. Go Hillary!

Why is it she wants to debate?. Could it be she wants more television coverage…. low on funds? hmmmm….. Interesting…

"We’ve picked up some e-mail traffic indicating that Nielsen has delayed the release of yesterday’s national cable overnight ratings “due to an issue loading necessary reference data updates.”

The numbers are to be released at 9 a.m. Wednesday. Which means we won’t know how many people tuned in to Hillary Clinton’s town hall meeting on the Hallmark channel until after Super Tuesday."

Again Obama is showing his true calling card. He is afraid of answering questions at his "rally's" and now he is trying to get out of answering questions of the people.

If he can't take the heat now, just imagine how he would be in the big house.

I no longer want to hear from people that there reason for voting for this guy is because he will bring "change".

We need experience and everytime I see Hillary Clinton being asked a question, she never stumbles and she never talks around an issue.

She knows her stuff and you can tell that she does everytime she answers a question.

Many of the posts on here are sick and wrong.

Lets go Hillary a debate a week is perfect lets see if Obama can keep up with you and answer direct questions without sidestepping doubt it though because that is not what he meant.

I'd love to see Romney challenge McAmnesty to a debate each week. Perhaps then the Republicans would wake up and realize that McCain doesn't have a clue on most of the issues.

His only answer would get tiring after a while.

“Look, I was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution, I’m proud of my record, I’m proud to have people like Jack Kemp and Phil Graham supporting me.”

Numerous Obama supporters on here are instructing him to limit his debates or not debate at all. Why? That is such a selfish maneuver by them. "Oh please, Obama, you know you don't always do as well in the debates, so please don't do them." What?? I as an American demand to know where he stands on the issues compared to Hillary. Stump speeches only get us so far. And issue pages on their websites only get us so far. At least Hillary has been taking more questions since Iowa, so we know where she stands on a broader range of issues. I don't care if Obama can get more people attracted to him by going around holding rallies…I can watch them on tv every day and see the exact same thing. We need more in depth debates. You sound ridiculous telling your candidate to not debate because that is not his strongest suit. What you're saying is, hide your stances from us so we can only hear your pretty speeches. Don't answer the tough questions because you look weak doing it. Maybe he doesn't have all the answers! And maybe, just maybe, you won't like all of his answers! But you won't know that if you keep sheltering him.

Her Majesty HRC is asking too much in so little time. She has alredy lost half the race. Her Majesty wants to slow down the Obama Tsunami. She is so worried that she needs to come-up with plan B, C, & DD for Drop Dead . Mr. Obama should ignore her new tactic or minimize it to one debate a month max. Obama is the clear choice for all Americans and subsequently the whole world…

For someone who has so much experience and name brand recognition, who's views and accomplishments by now should be well known, the question becomes - why does the Clinton campaign ask for a debate a week? Obviously to get Senator Obama off the campaign trail because as more folks come to know about him and what his plans are (check his web site if you are asking "what plans?"), his support continues to surge. A republican friend of ours yesterday said he wished he had changed his party affiliation by the deadline so he could have voted for Senator Obama today. I never thought I would have heard that from him.

Senator Obama, you are making great progess so I know your campaign is not going to let Senator Clinton's campaign dictate your strategy. Keep doing what you do so well and best of luck.

Go vote everyone!

uhhh what momentum are you speaking of with Obama? I've checked several different poll sites and Hillary is ahead in every single one in…..why would she worry? and of course she wants debate because she knows that Obama can't ride on the coat tails of the Kennedy's and (hahahah) OPRAH forever……if he's forced to debate, he knows he will lose even faster. She making it quick and painless for him…..Obamanites should be grateful. I think it's uproarious the comment "hillary can't ride his coattails" HAHAHAHA i mean honestly!!! Ride the Coat tails of doing nothing and saying nothing???? Being a Lawyer and talking like one??? oh my god, i'm sorry that is TOO funny. I love the pompous nature of the voters for Obama…. you know very well that Obama has no chance and in the long run he'll be forgotten as quickly as the kegs the college kids supporting him drank last night.

Its a smart move. If Obama says no, it makes him looks scared

Ok, ENOUGH about the comments that Hillary "cried." She teared up for one second. Watch the video and see for yourself. And I would only hope you would tear up too when you go back to your roots and have your long-time mentor giving a very heartfelt introduction (he was tearing up, too). And did you think Plexico was weak to have cried after he won the Super Bowl? Did you think TO was weak to have cried when people were hounding him about Romo dating Jessica Simpson? Did you think Mitt was weak when he teared up in December? Or Obama when he teared up towards the end of his NH speech? Come on!! ENOUGH WITH THE DOUBLE STANDARDS!!! Getting a little teary now and again displays heart and honest emotion.

Nonsense, we 're talking about American's health care crisis, deficit, war in Iraq, reclaim our future, repair our image abroad and provide jobs for Americans…Who cares about debate?

To Jr.

That phrase you used is pure genius!!! You should have coined that and sold some tee shirts man! Make money off good ideas!!!

Hillary is desperate… Is the crying not working with the ladies Hill?

Why is my commentary not being posted? It's not nearly as harsh as these Obama haters!

Debate and Debate as much as you can Senator Obama. There's just one caveat, "FOX Network" is a mouthpiece for GOP, only to throw back any disparaging comments/remarks in your face down the road. I would refuse their offer,let Hillary fly solo! As far as Public TV, CBS, CNN,and ABC ,I definitly would debate Hillary, their monitors our very versed with integrity and seem to have the general publics interest at hand. It could be the definitive moment of your great career and future. Great Question!

Obama is scared of debating her, that's why he doesn't want to agree to this. He isn't a candidate of substance at all, all his campaign events are more like pep rallies. Well we as a nation face some serious challenges and some serious issues, and pep rallies aren't going to solve them. For all you Obama supporters who had never even HEARD of him 4 months ago, wake up. This guy is all show, and we need substance.

People should not have to have college degree to understand what a candidate is saying or what he stands for and Lord knows he is not the only person to write a book. Nothing wrong with keeping ones views and intentions clear and simple. As far as his being deep, or complex - well that is a matter of opinion.

GO HILLARY

Her Majesty HRC is asking too much in so little time. She has alredy lost half the race. Her Majesty wants to slow down the Obama Tsunami. She is so worried that she needs to come-up with plan B, C, & DD for Drop Dead . Mr. Obama should ignore her new tactic or minimize it to one debate a month max. Obama is the clear choice for all Americans and subsequently the whole world…

Whoa whoa whoa Folks,

Can we keep this civil? I'm an Obama supporter and I agree with Dennis, Obama hasn't said he won't debate. It's kind of a busy day. Give them a chance.

Secondly, to everyone saying "Substance over style" implying that Obama has no specific plans and is all about rhetoric,. Well, I hate to tell you this but that claim is rhetoric in itself. Obama has very, and I mean VERY specific plans laid out for everything from Iraq to the economy to healthcare to everything else. If you would like to take the time to read them, look for his "Blueprint for Change." Be warned, it's quite long and will take some time to read. Much more time than to memorize "35 years" "ready on day one" and "It's universal - that means everyone! Like magic!"

I watched the last debate. I thought both of them did well and were very specific. It seems both sides of this have put on blinders and only choose to remember the positives of one candidate. Ask any republican or independent who will admit it: they both looked good.

Now, I support Obama for specific reasons. One, I think his healthcare plan is more realistic and much more likely to get republican support (you know how republicans feel about mandates). Two, he is CONSISTENT. Three, when people say "substance over style," well, I have to say I've never seen a politician with as much substance as Barack Obama. On top of everything else, he has some how managed to inspire an entire generation to become engaged in the political process. That's what I call substance, with style…

A request for more debates, historically is the tool of the desperate, so
they can say. See he's afraid to discuss the issues, where in fact she has no desire to either.

Hilary knows the only way she can look good is by using her super-polished politifcal double talk while Obama deliberately carefully thinks through matters.

She is a TV persona and belongs on soap operas.
He is a thinker and a statesman.

Another cheap publicity stunt by the Hillary camp - Hilar-ious!

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO DEBATE OBAMA…OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE DID'NT PAY ATTENTION TO THE OTHER DEBATES…HILLARY IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO'S GOT ENOUGH BALLS TO QUESTION BARRACK OBAMA ABOUT WHO HE IS, HOW HE VOTED, HOW HE STANDS ON THE ISSUES..I MYSELF DON'T HAVE ANY HEALTH INSURANCE, UNDER OBAMA'S PLAN I STILL WON'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE HE ONLY WANTS TO GIVE INSURANCE TO CHILDREN AND THAT'S FINE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE NO INSURANCE??? HILLARY ON THE OTHER WANTS TO INSURE EVERYONE…I DON'T MIND HAVING TO PAY FOR INSURANCE AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T COST $500 A MONTH. HILLARY'S PLAN IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY YOU ALL SPLIT THE COST OF THE INSURANCE PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY YOU WORK FOR..HILLARY'S ALWAYS TOLD US ABOUT HER RECORD..SHE'S NOT A FLIP-FLOPPER…LIKE I SAID SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS ANY BALLS TO ASK OBAMA QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS RECORD..WE ALL KNOW THE NEWS MEDIA SEEMS TO BE AFRAID TO ASK OBAMA ANYTHING. I HOPE YOU ALL GET EGG ON YOUR FACE JUST LIKE YOU DID IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY.

Today, Obama supporters care about the votes, not debates or name calling.

If Hillary debates herself it should be a good one because she never gives a straight answer and when she does she lies. Just think about the one debate she gave 2 different answers with in 5 minutes. I would love to see Hillary debate Hillary.

Hillary knows she will lose or not win on Super Tuesday so she is dragging on and on. Her robot talk needs not to be repeated weekly.

First, she said Obama are good running mate and now she wants to tag herself on him longer by offering to debate once per week.

Hillary thinks she is bigger than the party so she won't let go of Obama to fight against McCain.

President Carter and Senator Kennedy saw through the Clintons and made an easy choice - Obama.

Same old Clinton tactics…I never realize how 'slime ball like' they are. They are like the Patriots, they will do anything to win, even cheat. This family is about as dangerous as the Bush family. I am ashamed of ever voting for Bill. I guess not only will I never vote for a Bush, but I will never vote for a Clinton again.

This is not sports Clintons, no more dynasties!!! If you want one, move to China Hillary! You losers took campaign money from them before, maybe they will have you. Good riddens!

Obama has to make a lot of trips so that people see him physically and know him well. Hillary does not need that as most people recognise the name Clinton and know her. Why should Obama rescheduled his plan and abide to her request, That is bulldozing!

Yes! Hillary is winning all of the debates that I watched so far. Obama never provide more specifics in detail for his plans, rather fumbles by diverting general statements, which I am not able to buy on it. I am sure, lack of experience is making him to not to accecept this challenge of vigorous debates.

Go Hillary! Go! We need you in WhiteHouse to cleanup the mess that Bush left us as his legacy.

Gov. Brown of CA was doing well and a threat to Bill Clinton in the 1992 primary in NY. Governor Clinton suggested a series of debates (my memory is something like five debates in a week to 10 day period).
Foolishly, Gov Brown thought himself an excellent debater.
He crammed day and night prepping for these debates. Governor Clinton ignored debate prep and instead used all this time campaigning throughout NY state.
The debates had no impact (although Gov. Brown WAS an excellent debater) while the personal appearances of Bill Clinton were evidently effective.

So - maybe 2 debates both to be held in sunbelt so that immediatedly preceeding or following these debates huge outdoor rallies to be held. Neither to be allowed on Fox.
2 hour format better than 90 minutes and format to be agreed on stresssing candidates questioning each other. The last half hour or 45 minutes of second debate likely to have Sen. Clinton desperate and taking huge risks.

More debates will just favor Obama. People are getting to know about the man. And the more you put this man in front of the world, the better. Hillary is yesterday's news. WE WANT SOMEONE NEW!!! HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? CAN YOU SMELL WHAT BAROCK IS COOKIN'?

This is obviously Clinton trying to pull Barack off of the Campaign Trail. In head-to-head campaigning, she will lose.

I hope the world can see this:

With Hillary Clinton, this election is about her and her ego. How many times do you hear her saying the word "I" in speeches?

With Barack Obama, this election is about US. How many times does he use the word "WE" in speeches?

The distinction is clear.

YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!

Hillary is smart to request this. She knows that Obama will falter if he has to go off his carefully scripted grand "Kennedy" messages and really answer a question — for example, about how it is that health care plan is superior if, as independent economicsts have analyzed,, it would cost 25% more than he says but cover 50% fewer people than Hillary's. Obama lovers are niave.

Sen. Clinton sunk herself by crying again! Who wants a President always crying. That trick backfire, now you see she will say or do anything to win. Obama should not debate her, silence is deadly. Let her make her case one on one with her supporter. Hillary by your own airtime! Rumble young man Rumble!!!!! Go OBAMA Go!!!!!!!!!

Does girl power comes from CRYING?

Hillary doesn't get it.

It is the inspiration, stupid!

Candidates are campaigning for the benefit of the country, aren't they? So one can see this campaign as politics already. If we judge both candidates by how they behave and what they choose to do and say in this pretty stressful period, it seems Obama handles the situation more sensibly than her. She's already made big tactical mistakes during this campaign. Calling for one debate a week shows everyone she's panicking. Another wrong move. In these moments of her life that require fast and lucid reaction, her experience and knowledge are not used wisely.

As a Texas voter, I am hoping to see Obama IN PERSON, and don't want that chance diminished by a debate rehashing the same points. Hillary tries to overstep her time and says the same things over and over. If we are going to debate, let's talk about listing her "35 years" of experience and talk about how less than a year of that was serving the Children's organization. Let's debate the 15 years making money at a law firm. Let's RELEASE all the documents she wants to keep sealed. Let's go over all the scandals. She wants to debate because Obama is a gentleman and doesn't bring these things up. McCain won't mind talking about them at all.

I have submitted many things that never get posted; hoping this one makes it.

Hillary should debate herself……with all the flip-flops she has had …

Obama '09-17

dear Andrew from above…………….that is too bad that there is one Republican based network on tv in Fox. not all networks need to babble on and on about the dems and universal healthcare and vacating Iraq!! fox presents more of a fair view on politics than does cnn who screams liberal all the time.

Obama as Plato and Clinton as Aristotle? The photo accompanying this story closely resembles the two philosophers at the focus of Raphael's "School of Athens." Obama's idealism contrasted with Clinton's realism? An amusing and thought-provoking coincidence.

i think its a great idea to have some deeper input on their views, and see who changes their story from week to week. truth is both would be great, then again anyone thats not a republican would be great!!! even ross perot!!!

This isn't a Highschool Debate Club, it's the Presidential Primary. Instead of calling for debates, Hillary should be out there speaking to people to let them know her message and her differences from Bill. It's time to get votes and to quit instigating arguments with your Democratic colleague and trying to make yourself look better. This isn't reality TV and she's not on The Apprentice. Quit with the smear tactics and playground fights. It's us, the people that matter, not her opponent. Right now, it should be about the issues affecting the people of the United States, not the issues that she has against her opponent. We already had 17 Democratic debates. If she didn't get her word out in those debates, 100 more doesn't make any difference. Enough with the talk, we demand action.

are you OBAMA supporters affraid of a debate!!!! LETS GO HILLARY!!! LETS GO HILLARY!!!!

The obama haters are on fire tonight….must be worried about the Clintons losing steam. For those of you who say Obama has no substance, it's because you'e so used to hearing everything wrapped up in easy to digest sound-bytes that you resent having to do any work to understand what he's saying. Just because he's not SIMPLE, just because he explores the COMPLEXITY that truly defines all of the important issues we are facing, doesn't mean his rhetoric is empty. Go out and read his books…..especially the first one, which he wrote before coming into the spotlight…then perhaps your opinion on what the guy stands for will sound more like Clinton mongering hate-talk.

Obama 08 all the way.

Hillary - if Obama agrees to more debates would you please ask him to tell the voters who he is, what he is all about. What he has done for Illinois since he has been their representative and what his voting record has been. We know he points out what he thinks you have done wrong, but has he done anything wrong? Or maybey he is another Bush who would never accept responsibility for HIS decision to go to war and to stay there till this very day. Obama is all talk and pretty speaches, but that will get America no place with people who want to kill us. We need strong, smart leadership. Hillary is that experienced person.

Hillary for President.

Rick made the suggestion to make each debate about a single subject..

1-Health Care
2-Balancing the Budget
3-International Affairs
4-Education and NCLB

********************
I could actually appreciate this type of format. It would really force both candidates to talk about the subject in an in-depth and meaningful way. No quick one-liners or dancing around the subject just to get to the next!

I agree that there's almost too much sensory overload for debates right now. That being said, I really enjoyed the last debate they had in Los Angeles. It was civil and driven by the issues. Those debates I can handle. The negative name calling debates are atrocious.

While I'm on this thread I'll let everyone know I voted for Hillary today. She will do everything that Barack Obama says he'll do and she'll do it more efficiently, faster, and with more substantial results. I like Barack, and I'll vote for him if he gets the nod, for I think he would do an fine job. I just think Hillary will be better. I'm from California, I'm an independent, I'm young, and I'm a man. Who says I can't vote for Hillary?

Eileen, and they say Hillary supporters are uneducated white women? I understand Obamas' being against debates, he needs a pulpit ,with no questions please! He is the best at Rallys. I'm not impressed by endorsements nor pulpit politics. I am one of 5 million absentee voters in California, I voted for HILLARY and NO I haven't changed my mind .

We already know their positions………… please NO more debates!!!!
This is why she is a divider, SHE LOVES TO FIGHT WITH PEOPLE…. They are going to give the same answers to the same questions over, and over again. This women wants to fight with the republicans !!!!!!

Why does Hillary think she can dictate Obama's schedule?

Could be a good idea. Since she wants us to remember her husbands administration maybe then someone could ask her about Travel-gate, NAFTA and Mr. Foster. And, if she has studied the Universal health plan in Canada and the UK and how her's will differ and be successful.

Hillary is going him a favor by giving him some practice so that in case he get the nomination, the Republicans don't just chew him up and spit him out in small pieces! This guy is in no shape or form ready for a debate with the other party; if he gets the Democratic nomination, we are definitely looking at another 8 years of Republicans in the White House! What a tragedy and what a tragedy to see so many Americans clueless about what makes a candidate strong!

I don't see a reason for this many more debates. The last one was a snooze fest. I guess in the leadup to a national election, they might get a little more animated, but this seems like a transparent attempt by the Clinton campaign to play on her strengths. She delivers the applause lines that Obama stays away from.

I have noticed that CNN posts more ProBama comments than ProClinton comments. Why is this? Isn't this one of the things we are supposed to be CHANGING?!?!?

Whenever someone like "Adam" at 4:36 tries to rudely characterize all Obama supporters as "naive", I like to point out the fact that, statistically, Obama supporters have obtained a higher level of education and earn more income.

We're not all a bunch of sheep, buddy. Just because his speeches are inspirational and he is about 90 times more personable than Hillary doesn't mean he's an empty suit.

I've read his book. I've read his plans, including his health care plan, and I find them more convincing than Hillary's and less likely to be manipulated by the Republicans in the general election.

Also, let's not forget, there are not these MAJOR policy differences between Barack and Hillary that you try to suggest. I perceive Obama to be a more intelligent, capable, and frankly, less corrupt politician. That's why he's getting my vote.

Please do not insult me and other Obama supporters with your unfounded generalizations and your nasty way of presenting them!

Sorry Hill camp, demanding another debate is not a good sign for you kids.

I think what happens today will be more than enough. Let the people speak!

Trying to have frequent debates is a good strategy for Hillary. She does well one-on-one and far and away won the last debate before Super Tuesday. She has command of all of the issues, and manages to convey substance and incorporate details in her concise responses and rebuttals. Although Obama may be an inspirational speaker in his prepared speeches, I do not feel that he is nearly so adept at debating effectively and thinking on his feet. The more debates, the better for both candidates to better define their differences, goals and plans for the future of the country.

Question - Why do so many of you hate Hillary? I just don't understand - do you somehow feel threatened by her intellect? What has she done personally to you? By the way I voted for Obama today - not joyfully but because there are just too many things about Hillary I just couldn't get past. But I can honestly say that I don't hate her.

the only experience I hear that Obama has is in thestreets of Chicago. Hillary has the RESUME…. a good one. I'd hire her.

Every time he debates, he gets better and has more opportunity to explain his positions. Hopefully, he can quiet all these people who say he has no substance (that do not bother to log on his website and READ his positions)

If Hillary is such a great debater as all her little minions here claim, please explain why her numbers have been on the decline for the past 2 months when it seems like we've had a debate every week to 10 days. Is she hoping that we will all suddenly fall in love with her cackle? If we are going to more of them, let's have an actual debate. I've been in debates and none of these are really debates. How about the same rules as the Lincoln-Douglas Debates. (You remember those? Tall skinny guy from Illinois with "no experience" who turned out to be our greatest President…)

His indecisin on wether to debate each week is just like His "present" votes as senator. If Obama knows where the problems are in this country and knows the solutions than he needs to debate Hillary Clinton and stop hesitating.

No way. We have heard a lot already. It is clear and we now where everyone stands on all issues. Another debate will only be full of retorique questions.
Given that Hillary is the one asking for debates, She must be on a hot seat, scared because the lead has vanished away and that the momentum is shifting on the other side.

No more debate is necessary. Let the winner win.

Too much…too little…too late.

How about a compromise maybe everyother week.

The people need to hear from each of them on their
own platflorm not some commentators debate.

Ah, smart move Hillary… wrap him in debates so he can lose his momentum while you go on the attack hoping he will slip up.

Hilary is running scared because everyone said the last debate was a tie, and even a win for Obama, when she should have won. I guess the Kumbaya is over LOL!

I have three words for Obama: Just say NO!

Hillary has deply all sort of tactics in this campaign.

After her loss in Iowa, there was the emotional outbreak. Right before the South Carolina, there was the tactic of "divid then conquer". Eventually she comes to term that even Kennedys do not agree with her methods. She finally tries the "high ground" imagery.

My point is that Clintons (with Bill) are in this capaign for themselves. There is no consideration for the country. Winning is the only thing they really care about.

Weekly debate will not produce any positive result. Frankly, people may be turned off if they are bombarded with the same message. Both candidates have similar positions on most policies. To parse over every nuances is not necessary.

She lacks of authenticity to be a true public servant. We need someone who is truly thinking for the people not just in it for the win.

Go Senator Clinton!

Oh lordie, Obama hasnt accepted a challenge in the mere couple of hours since it was levied.

Also, lets be clear, Obama has been freezing Fox out because they have openly compared him to Osama on a name basis and have been nothing short of full of bigotry and racism without apology. I say do as many debates with the other networks as you want, but the first thing a democratic president needs to do is put Fox back in its rightful place - good for tabloid-esque filler news, bad for actual news.

you've got to be kidding me. if he rejects the call then he looks bad and if he does it is worthless. their stances on issues arent going to change and the same types of questions will be asked week after week. all that would happen is the moderator would try to stir up a controversy and start a political slug fest. enough of this crap from the hillary camp!! and whoever said obama cant debate is stupid. maybe that is because he is always defending his position on a misstep accusation from hillary! i say cast your vote for a true candidate…..a true conservative……..McCain '08!

I'm a black male and would love to see the day there is a black presedent, but I would have to admit I don't know much about Obama but he seams to be a standup guy.
People all of a sudden don't like the Clintons before obama, we where praying to get the clinton back in office.
Obama has a great chance of winning the demacratic nominie, but when it come to fight for presedency the conservertive repulicans needed to win will not vote for him, they will vote for the Clintons. I want a democratic in office and this is the first chance we had in a long time. Go Hillary

Of course supporters are afraid to have Obama debate over the real issues…Anyone that says he has been rocking the debates, hasn't been watching them. While Obama hasn't been doing poorly in the debates (ala Ron Paul), he simply hasn't been able to match Hilary's step in them. She has been concise and deliberate. She has shown the paths to the solutions that Obama continually harks on with no solutions of his own. In the last debate all he could muster as a battle cry was "I was right about Iraq, and therefore I will be right about everything else" Give me a break…

Obama couldn't handle a debate a week….he would leave crying!!!

Go Hillary Go!!!

Last night on the Hallmark channel Hillary had a town hall covering her stand on a variety of issues. I was so proud to be a part of this meeting even tho it was via TV. What have we heard from Obama besides sound bites?

A lot of great speech -making, good use of sound bites but I still do not know what he stands for. What does he stand for?

If he is the nominee he will have to be more specific or the Republicans will eat him alive. This is a first for me: giving the Republican nominee a look-see. I would hate to vote for a Republican because of the potential of two vacancies on the Supreme Court. We do not need any more Republican appointees.

Go Hillary, we need you!

These so-called debates are not really debates at all. In my Senior year I was Chairman of the Debating Society and we had real debates where one person took a position on an issue and was asked to defend that position and the other person took the opposite point of view and defended that position.

i dont see a lot of that in these debates so i would like to propose a motion as follows:

This house believes that Senator Clinton's vote on Iraq to give President Bush authority to declare War on iraq was a grave error of misjudgment.

For the motion: Senator Barack Obama (5 minutes)

Against the motion: Senator Hilary Clinton (5 minutes)

Chairman: Tim Russert

Each have a 2 minute summing up rebuttal

A panel as well as Viewers then cast a vote on the relative arguments

Why can't we have this kind of debate ?

Hillary destroys Obama in every debate!!

CLINTON 08!!

these comments are so sad, im beginning to really dislike america

Of course she wants to debate, CNN & Blitzer in particular, are obviously biased. How many times did he ask Barak "Is that a swipe at Sen. Clinton?" 2-3 by my count. How many times did he ask Hillary "Is that a swipe at Sen. Obama?" You guessed it, a big fat "0″!!

Do we expect a FOX debate to be any more "Fair and Balanced"? I doubt it.
Think of the ratings (read: fired up Repub. Base) that FOX will get if Hillary get the Nomination. 24/7 Hillary trashing is a windfall for FOX and the Repub. Party.

With McCain as the Likely Nominee, the Conservatives are not as fired up(I understand the VP Nod could change this) as they would be. The only way for the Repubs to bridge this gap is for Democrats to unite their party for them. Hillary WILL unite them.

THIS WILL HURT THE DOWN TICKET RACES, even IF she CAN win the general.

Obama you should accept the challenge that Hillary is offering you for future debates. If you don't it will appear that you are backing down. Ask Oprah to help you. If she is not available you can always ask Ted Kennedy.

Do you ever wonder what is wrong with people who think "what more could they possibly say?" The point of a debate is not to hear in the basest terms what each candidate thinks about a given issue, but to begin to grasp which candidates understand, analyze, and think about the difficult and sometimes incredibly complex issues that will be faced by a leader of any kind (government or otherwise).

The greatest thinkers of any generation could spend YEARS discussing moral and political issues (and have… think Hawthorne, Jefferson, Thoreau…these men made a LIVING on the lecture circuit discussing just these issues) and not at any point come to a conclusion or an end. Finding out where someone stands on complex issues is more than making a simple black and white statement about what you believe… and THAT is what is wrong with politics in this country. We think there are simple answers to anything…and the truth is a person's qualification to lead is learned over time…tested and re-tested.

The more we see of these candidates (both of whom I bear powerful respect for) opnly discussing their views on some of the most difficult questions of our time, the better, if you ask me.

It's ridiculous. Afraid? Hiding from the issues? What about the other 10 debates they have already had? Including the last one not so long ago. Is there something more that you expect to find?

One thing that is ridiculous is people adopt the mantra of Obama is inspirational but I don't know what he stands for so there's nothing there. That is just crazy. He has stood before you and answered every question asked. He went tit for tat with Hillary during the last debate comparing their plans and philosophies, everything one said, the other had their version, so there is no way you can say you don't know what he stands for.

He has been as clear as HRC has and if you don't believe so I would ask you to point out to me what HRC has been clear on that Obama has not.

What else could they possible discuss? They have already had 18 I think.

It doesn't seem to me that we need so many more debates at this time
but certainly it won't hurt Obama. He's been showing pose and intelligence in
every debate so far. Clinton's stern and very strong position on issues is a bit scary
in the sense that she doesn't appear like someone who can take advice from or listen
to other people.
Words are cheap. There are 2 facts to remember: she voted for the war
and she and Bill weren't able to improve our health care system while in office.
Time for Obama!

Scaredy cat? Does that comment reflect the overall maturity of Hillary supporters?

Personally, I won't watch four more debates. They've been fascinating, but I have other ways to spend my time. One or two more would be plenty.

I've read many comments that Obama should run again in eight years. Have you actually contemplated what the United States could look like after eight more years of the Clintons? Do you honestly believe a Democrat would have a chance at the White House? We'd be more likely to get Jeb Bush.

Obama is ready to lead and the time is now. If we wait, it will be too late.

(And a note to all of Hillary's supporters. Please answer this: What's democratic about the same family controlling the White House for sixteen years?)

I am debated out. I have watched them all. Republicans and Democrats and I can't take a debate a week. They both have been very specific about what they want to accomplish. So lets not do that.

I don't understand why she wants to do that. But that just sound plain crazy to me.

Desperation at its worst. I can't believe people are trying to spin it any other way.

Whatever.

Go Hillary.

Barak is so sensitive. Everything is on his terms. Hillary goes out and does things even if she doesn't want to. It's part of the job.

Hillary all the way. Also she does make him look dumb.

How about a series of debates between Michele Obama and Bill Clinton. Now, that would be worth watching!

Why Hillary? Just why? A debate a week is just too much for the American people to digest, especially if we have to take in your condescending attitude. What you are trying to do is inject confusion, misquote, and misrepresent, as usual. Win at any cost, huh Hills? Lord help us. We need change.

Go Obama!!!!!!!

Great idea Hillary. Obama's Camp is scared of this idea because he can't debate. Everything that comes out of his mouth is garbage. The only thing Obama talks about is the Iraq vote. I wish he would stop because he can't change my mind. I'm with Hillary til the end..

Hillary '08

Did Hillary ask Obama if she could caucas in Michigan and Florida. The answer is no. The debate is closed and not up for further discussion.

Hillary Clinton only voted for the war in Iraq because she was given misinformation by the Bush administration. She has long since retracted her stance on Iraq once it was obvious this was Bush's war. She has been consistant in her desire to end the war in a timely manner. Yet there are many who are not listening. It is my opinion that Hillary Clinton is a true American and has the deep conviction to bring respect back to the United States of America. She has true leadership qualities and has the ability to turn this country around and undo the mess that Bush is leaving us with. Her intelligence, calm manner, and steadiness under pressure leaves me no other choice but to say she has the qualities of a "true winner".

You know… I can't help but wonder…

Men complain enough about women wanting to "talk" too much about everything- is this really the image they want to project for her?

(Mostly said in humor… but only mostly…)

Let's talk about identity politics. My wife was a Silicon Valley executive and now teaches while raising two children. (Me, I support her for president… off topic.) She identifies heavily with Hillary Clinton and takes the Primary competition with Obama personally to the point she cannot see any positive aspects of Obama.

I'm convinced many of Clinton's and Obama's supporters are equally embittered by the contest so that, no matter who our ultimate nominee, vital constituencies in the Democratic coalition are likely to pout and abstain. Don't do it! Let's be adult in our our own best interests. Let's vote, volunteer and commit to the party.

Let's understand this for what it is: The 2,008 General Presidential Election is the last opportunity to reclaim the country for ALL of us. ALL of our interests are best served by a president who will work for progress for working people, for disfranchised minorities (women AND ethnic interests) and for the restoration of our constitutional and democratic institutions and liberties. If we don't unite behind whichever candidate prevails, another Republican administration will be positioned to complete Bush's systematic destruction of America.

Great Idea to Emphasize her strengths.. Now she can clear up all the untruths going around get all the facts!..

I feel that Obama is the best at Debates…he is not pre-wired…he is authentic…every debate…I see him as being like me…and that makes me give more money…every time…It makes me travel back and forth on the east coast getting people educated about what we all can do…through Obama…

buh-bye Hillary

give it up, you're only prolonging the agony

Obama will win, now and in November

Yes We Can

The question about debates verses speeches is irrelevant as a measure of candidate’s qualifications to be President of the United States. Debates make sense at lower government levels such as District Representatives, school boards, County Councils, Mayors, etc.

At the Presidential level debates is mainly a method to try and define some form of comparison with easy criteria that layman can understand. It’s the equivalent of a beauty pageant or criminal lineup! During the State of the Union address President Bush did not get up and debate congress he delivered a speech!

If debates are an important aspect of being President then we need to change to a parliamentary system where a Prime Minister routinely debates the opposition party during Prime Minister's question time!

Hillary, as a "policy wonk" is very good at the detail. However I question her ability to get past the "I hate Republicans" frame of view. She will make a perfect cabinet secretary but has too narrow a point of view to be anything else!

Go Barack '08

I believe that Hillary is smart but she 's not that smart and strong enough to be the United State President. Please think twice before you vote.

Clinton has seen the polls and done the math. She is going to lose. She knows it. Now she wants to break the Democratic boycott of Fox and get Barack off the campaign trail and away from the voters. The more people see him, the more they like him. The more people see her, the less they like her — which is why she came in third in Iowa.

Barack raised $32 million in January. Hillary raised $14 million. She's desperate and will do anything to get more support. Sorry Hillary, the politics of hate and divisiveness are out, and unity and hope are in. Go Obama '08!!!

It appears to me that alot of people in this country have forgotten the good times we all had when President Bill Clinton was in office.  The country was out of the red and into the black with a surplus.  Do you not feel that the President had at that time gone to Hillary and asked her opionion on issues he was contimplating on to turn the country around?  Everyone should know that Hillary is a very intelligent woman who was a member of the National Honor Society and a leader in her school years.  I honestly feel that she helped her husband, now she can help all of us and turn this country around.  I believe in Hillary Clinton and feel that she is our best choice to help our troubling country.

hundreds of millions gone already for this election…mmm…i wonder what a few hundred million would do in darfur? since we obviously don't care, lets flush many more greenbacks down the #### receptacle with a bunch of pointless, say nothing debates and see what comes out the other end. remember folks, all we get from these debates is just that - a bunch of crap!

What are they going to talk about??

Neither of them has any experience worth mentioning.

How many times does America really want to see those two debate????

Hillary needs to stop all of this She just needs to rest that voice of hers. She is starting to sound like a very old lady who smokes way too much.

Go Hillary! Take the House! Obama wont do this… It exposes his lack of experience or "real" ability to manage government. He is a great motivational speaker, and a politician for politicians. He would be yet another elected official to promise the world, and deliver nothing. Obama can save his speaches. We need someone who can inspire but more importantly, actually deliver. It was the last Clinton who pulled this country out of federal deficit and recessionary economics, it will take another to get us out. Obama would give everyone a great speach while they lose their homes, lose their jobs, etc. But is that what people want?

Im ready to place my vote.

Why on earth would we want a debate a week?? One when all the questions would be on the most pertinent subjects is enough . . . if they would only stay on topic and actually answer the questions. Is that too much to ask for?

FEATURE THE MIT STUDY ABOUT CLINTON AND OBAMA HEALTH CARE PLANS - LET SOUND SCIENCE AND RESEARCH BE HEARD!!! LET THE TRUTH BE SPOKEN!!! HILLARY IS RIGHT ON MARK WITH HER COST, WHICH ACTUALLY IS LOWER THAN OBAMA'S WITH BETTER RESULTS (ACTUALLY EVERYONE COVERED). THIS IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT BASED ON SOUND RESEARCH AT MIT - BEFORE CRITICIZING ME, CHECK IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

The more debates, the better. So far Hillary hasn't been up to snuff. The only thing that'll tick me off is if they agree to anything on FOX. The democrats should never legitimize the Republican Propaganda machine called FoxNews. Nor should they agree to any debate during the general election on FoxNoise. The
