NO MORE FREAKING DEBATES!!!!!

Wise up ,the reason she wants debates she is out of money and this is FREE air time....Same ole crap lets move on and they each tell their tales by themselves....Billy can go home>>>>>>

21 debates I think is more than plenty.

Wishfull thinking on the Clintons part.
there won't be and OR Contest. This thing is over in two weeks, which ever way it goes.

Obama08

She's broke.

Free air time.

Sad.

There have been a lot of debates, I have watched them all...That being said, there haven't been that many with just Obama and Clinton, the earlier ones didn't really count in my opinion as they were usually just playing nice, and they didn't showcase the ineptitude of Obama. Clinton has put up with endless character assassination, bias, and just mean spirited treatment in debates and interviews. No one was ruder than Chris Matthews and Tim Russert. But Obama gets the gloves off treatment just one time, and he runs away like a scared rabbit. Personally, I want to know how a candidate reacts under pressure and in a hostile environment, I don't want to wait until he is meeting with Iran to see if he is immature enough to show his unease with finger gesturing or platitudes. Mr. Obama needs to grow up, he acts like a petulant child when things don't go his way.

They have only had three or four debates against each other.

That's not enough.

Debates with ten people in them a year ago don't count.

He is not going to be able to say inthe general he wont debate.

It's another electability issue.

FRESH FROM UPI:

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama's avoidance of future primary debates shows he wants to engage voters rather than discuss policy, observers say.

Democrats: Nominate Obama. Please!

Then, let the circus begin.

This race has always been Hillary's to lose and she has done well at that since last fall...lost points in every campaign so far. Do you really think this woman can successfully carry on a winning campaign or be an effective leader? The Clintons don't care about the party or the issues. They care about themselves. They will bring down the party. Nod, Nod, Nod.

Why do people who like Hillary always seem to go to non-issues to dis Obama? Talk about Africa or lapel pins. This election is too important for that.

As an Obama supporter, I wish he would agree to a debate

But I don't fault him for not wanting to

Unless there's an arrangement of sticking to the issues...

Folks are looking to nominate a Leader not a Fighter.

Hillary likes to fight a lot, and this is really typical old politics!

Why can't she use the time and try to eliminate her highest unfavourable ratings of any nominee in a half a century!

Hillary needs to stop with the negativity. Even PA voters that supported her felt she was taking it too far. Follow Obama's lead and rise above the cheap political shots. If it goes on then McCain and the GOP will waltz into the White House and we will have another 4 years of blatant corporate greed in the White House and 100 years of our troops in Iraq.

If he is scared to debate, so be it. It is understandable because Hillary beats Obama every time.

But the electorate does deserve to hear more about plans to turn the economy around. It deserves to hear the rationale for these plans and a chance to evaluate the strength of character of each candidate.

Make no mistake: the next four years will be hard and require tough mindedness from the chief executive. Sober voters should be stepping back and looking critically at the candidates from all sides and asking who the best hire is. It sounds trite but as someone who leads a team and has to make the hiring decisions, I can say with confidence, these are the most important decisions I make. Get it right and my company prospers. Get it wrong and we fail drop by drop.

Get it right.

NEVER rule a Clinton out.

Funds might be down, but she has a remarkable ability to raise them back up again.

She's a "never say die" candidate alright.

We need a President like that. Not one that talks to Ahmedinedjad willy-nilly.

Why are people so concerned about "the issues"? Don't you realize the all these empty promises by all the candidates will go by the wayside? The world turns on money, and politicians and even laws are powerless to stop it.

I've bad sobering news for you, Peace. We need a fighter who leads from the front. When making a hiring decision, if I detect elitism or 'too smart to work hard for you' in an interview, that person is checked off the list no matter how good their degrees are. An elitist does more damage to the team than any other kind of puffed up loafer. I can find work for the middle guy, but the guy that is too good to work can't be useful in any way.

Two things I look for:

1. When I propose a problem scenario, they come back with a reasonable answer. If they don't have an answer, they tell me that too.

2. When I ask why they are applying if they have a good job, they tell me they can do better. If I know the place they are working is abusive and they say they would rather work more for less money than get more money but put up with abuse, I put them at the top of the list. Nothing is better than a junkyard dog in an alley fight.

So far, nothing Obama has said or done makes me think he can take the pressure, or will fight when the fight is mean and it hurts. He glides. We don't need a glider. We need a slugger.

I know Hillary needs the coverage due to money problems, but really people in Oregon have TVs and computers I hope;and have seen enough debates.After 16 months and 21 debates,if you don't know who you support by now then stay home on election day! believe me she will find other ways to continue to try and bloody Obama up.
PLEASE NO MORE DEBATES!

Obama 08!

Irrespective of whether Obama is queried about "the issues" or his personal associations and values in a debate, he loses. When asked about issues, he stumbles, stammers, and contradicts himself. In many instances, he flat out doesn't know the answer. If asked about his nefarious friends or family, he dismisses the question or lies. It's no big surprise he doesn't want another debate. He can't handle another debate, and he certainly can't handle the presidency.
There's only one democratic candidate who can, Hillary.

No more debates! I want to see the candidates in person not answering idiotic questions from the snarky media people with their own agendas! Please spare us Debates- they aren't even real. Wouldn't you rather go to a Town Hall meeting??
