WOOT! This is great news. I am so tired of having to sift through media rhetoric to find out what the candidates really say. Bring on the debates!

What have we not heard or seen in the last 20 debates, the is just going to be more material for SNL.

I think there are many issues that have not been debated.

DCVoter, I have to agree with you. I don't think OBAMA has any real financial management understanding, nor a grasp of our economy whatsoever. I suspect this guy has been on an easy ticket for awhile, because of his polished voice, and we need to get HILLARY to expose this weakness. I'm absolutely certain there is no depth there, and if he's asked to throw numbers around he will crumble. HILLARY will shine in this arena, she's very comfortable with understanding economic issues.

These debates should be very good.

It will be a good opportunity for PA (and all the remaining primary states) to see and hear from the candidates without the media translating what they really said. Let's hope they are on their best behavior and stick to the issues.

Yes, and Clinton management skills have been proven through her campaign???

Using supporters money to stay in 4- seasons hotels and buying donuts for her staff.

Obama actually has a good understanding of financial management. In fact, Michael Bloomberg stated in an article a few weeks ago that the Obama economic plan was the only plan that actually had a chance of fixing some of the country's problems. Also, Obama has certainly managed his campaign finances better than Clinton. And he even released his income taxes. I don't think Obama is the one who is weak on financial management.

Obama has been getting better in the debates. He definitely has definitely shown a great ability to run a very successful campaign against all odds.

Great, maybe this time the press will ask Sen. Clinton about her purported foreign policy experience that is the basis of the contention that she has passed the so-called "Commander-in-Chief" threshold...

For the first time in a long time i actually welcome the debates. I'm tired of the negative campaign coverage on both sides. The whining and crying and moaning makes me SICK. ON BOTH SIDES. Lets get back to the freaking issues. Ferraro & Obama's Pastor will not put freakign food on my table.

Todd -I don't think West Coast or DCvoter have said anything unreasonable in their responses to this article. Just because someone feels one candidate is stronger than another is no reason to attack them personally while trying to make it look like it's for the good of all.

Isn't it amazing when people critique others who are 100 times more intelligent, more educated and more accomplished? lol

WHO RUNS THE MORE EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN WITH THE RECORD BREAKING FINANCES?
SENATOR BARACK OBAMA!

Hilary Clinton runs a campaign like Bush runs the nation's economy!

A GOOD LEADER (as Barack Obama is) does not have to know every detail about everything.
Good leaders don't micro manage; they select good subordinates and DELEGATE details, while they take care of the BIG PICTURE!

Based on their campaign alone, EVERY SENSIBLE AMERICAN WOULD RATHER TRUST THEIR FINANCES TO BARACK OBAMA!

A fool and his monies are soon parted; so we know in which campaign West Coast would waste his money! lol

Barack has an air of simplicity to him; but he's a Harvard Lawyer and a Constitution Law professor.

Running America is a piece of cake for anyone so well endowed. Again, see the magnificent camapaign Senator Obama has put together!

Bring it on! Hopefully they'll talk about some new unheard issues that may spark a little much needed, healthy debate. I dont know about you all, but Im sick and tired of hearing about health care. WE GET IT ALREADY!!

NBC nightly news just picked up the Sinbad-Crow-Clinton "diplomatic" mission to Bosnia story.

Well Barack wants it, so I think it will benefit him to go after her.

Clinton is an empty shell. Her financial skills are confined to reciting spoonfed figures that no one verifies. She's been death to New York.

These are not really debates, they only answer question presented to them. I would hope that since there are only two of them, that they would both answer the same question, so we can truly get a feel of their policies and solutions.

Not another hour of Clinton claiming to be President.

Hillary mismanaged her compaign so bad she could not manage a hotdog stand.

Speaking of hotdogs - Bill Clinton pilot to Africa two months ago is a convicted Fellon. Bill has great friends.

What good does it do.
Clinton doesn't know how to tell the truth. If anyone belives anything she
says is living in La La land.

She will say anything or do anything to win.
