Does anyone find it obscenely hypocritical that...
Hillary Clinton has agreed to just one debate in the coming weeks, while Barack Obama has agreed to TWO?

I thought Obama was the one "dodging debates"...

Hmm...

All I have to say is, shame on you Hillary Clinton. Shame on you.

1. My guess?
She doesn't see Katie Couric as a qualified moderator.

Do you?

3. Katie Couric?
Why not have Howie Mandell do it instead?

Makes as much sense.

6. What is this business...
Of marginalizing people who you disagree with or don't fit into your coronation plan by saying "They're not qualified!" She really shouldn't be talking.

12. She has proved herself unqualified to read the news!
Running a debate is far, far out of her league!

Two recent debates to one is hardly as significant as the total count.

13. Please be serious
If Katie Couric is a journalist, I'm the Queen of Sheba.

Bob Schieffer at least I can respect --But Katie Couric?

Really?

Will she ask them who their favorite American Idol is?

7. I'm holding out for Gallagher.
His watermelon-smashing antics will provide balance and fairness.

4. More importantly, where are her RECORDS (tax, earmarks, etc.)???
The more she debates, the more likely this will come up and hit her in the face. And let's face it, his learning curve on debate form has been much better than hers.

8. Yes. It looks like the student has become the master. She's now afraid of him, not only
because he'll bring up her past tax returns and records, but because he's so darn cool under pressure.

11. Ironically, Hillary's campaign ran TV ads in my state accusing Obama of just that
Interesting...

14. The debate is on the 16th - Will Clinton will make her tax records available "around" the 15th?
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 01:08 PM by powergirl

16. It's because she's going to lose North Carolina and since she is, it doesn't count.
