Sen. Obama campaigned in Marion, Indiana Saturday.
ANDERSON, Indiana (CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama flat out denied any possibility that he would accept a debate with rival Sen. Hillary Clinton prior to the next big round of primaries. Shortly after maintaining he isn't "ducking" debates, the Illinois senator admitted the two Democratic rivals are "not going to have debates between now and Indiana." Voters in both Indiana and North Carolina will head to the polls May 6. Obama's comments came in an interview with FOX News' Chris Wallace set to air Sunday. Wallace first asked Obama why he was ducking another one-on-one meeting. "I'm not ducking one. We've had 21," Obama said. "We want to make sure we're talking to as many folks possible on the ground taking questions from voters." Clinton has repeatedly called on Obama to meet for another debate since their last meeting in Philadelphia on April 16. Filed under: Barack Obama Hillary Clinton Indiana North Carolina
