Clinton Not Too Sleep Deprived for a Debate

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., brought her campaign to Fayetteville, North Carolina Thursday evening. Clinton, who is down by double digits in the polls in the state, is vowing to fight in North Carolina where she faces a disadvantage.
Clinton appealed to these voters saying that she, unlike her opponent, is willing to accept a debate whenever, wherever. "I have said I'll debate anytime, anywhere -- look I'm so sleep deserved – it doesn't matter anytime anywhere -- ill show up."
Clinton, with a speech focused on military issues, pleaded for support from voters in this state saying "I think you derive your own debate its been a lot time since you've been part of an contested Democratic primary. I invite all of you to be part of this campaign I really hope that you will participate sign up to make phone calls and reach out to your friends and neighbors - go door to door."
It wouldn't be a Hillary Clinton event these days if she didn't include this line "and I hope you will go to my website hillaryclinton.com" which she did issuing a transparent plea for cash, another area where she faces a disadvantage.
Clinton today, committed to spending time in this state – and has committed resources by adding offices and moved her successful operator Ace Smith, to chair her campaign in the state.. Smith recently and victoriously chaired both Clinton's Texas and Ohio operations. "That’s why I’m so excited this campaign has moved to North Carolina –here we are were a near two great bases Fort Bragg and Pope" Clinton said "and I am looking forward to criss-crossing North Carolina in the next ten or twelve days… and I think its exciting that this campaign has come to North Carolina".

Why would he be sleep deprived? He has down nothing but have BBQ's and fly around the world on taxpayer money to fund his campaign in Paris.

Well she could always take a page from Bill and send Al Gore to troll off with our nuclear secrets for some cash.

as it slowly dawns on the American people:
Hillary Clinton IS ready to
be our next president...

Go Hillary go. Hopefully the MEDIA wont try to drive you out of the campaign this time.

Phillip.
Hmmmmmmm..... We now know where you stand. Is this where middle class White America stands? Is this the face of Hillary Clinton? Is this what Bill Clinton stood for for 8 years?
Perhaps we should call this guilt by association.

Great, maybe we can give the world an explantion of her comments that she would "obliterate Iran".
This is a big story outside of the U.S.
As for another debate, the last debate hosted by ABC was a travesty! Why would Senator Obama or the American people want to be subjected to that again?
Posted by: Kaye Martin | Apr 24, 2008 6:53:27 PM
When is the media going to tell the American people that Senator Clinton did not win Texas and that her margin of victory in PA with 100% of the returns in was 9%?
Where are the American people supposed to go in order to get the truth?

We have had 21 debates. ABC's excuse for debate questions about flag pins, Ayers, etc was that there wasn't much difference between Obama and Hillary so they couldn't think of any other questions except on electability.
Thus, according to ABC there really isn't any more questions. Why do we need any more debates.
Hillary is in so much debt that she needs a debate for free publicity.

Stacey - if nothing, for the American people to see the true colors of Obama, what he is made of, whether or not a real phony or a real hypocrite.

Adaptation, Jackt51. If your candidate does not learn and get worse each time, it tells the voters something. Something shows his phony and hypocrite side.
Posted by: fat cat | Apr 24, 2008 7:46:28 PM
Superdegate Count since PA Vote:
Obama 3
Clinton 1
Clinton "Victory" Margin in PA 9.4
Clinton Claim: "I won by double digits."
Not double digits, unless you include the decimal point!
Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!
Posted by: Jackt51 -- Vietnam Vet and Proud Liberal | Apr 24, 2008 7:46:33 PM
Bet ya Jackt51 will not vote in November because by that time he is bored and will find another thing to blog.
Posted by: fat cat | Apr 24, 2008 7:50:53 PM
Jackt51 - it was a tie because Obama had been saying "me, too" and "I agree with Senator XXXX" - you fill in the black.
Posted by: fat cat | Apr 24, 2008 7:56:31 PM
Jackt51 - have some humor - am sure ya will vote....
Posted by: fat cat | Apr 24, 2008 8:03:52 PM
Obama won't debate. He knows that he's as helpless as a fish out of water when his script writers aren't around. He's not even talking to reporters on the plane any more.
Such shallowness!

My ranking for President:
Hillary Clinton
John McCain
