Clinton Not Too Sleep Deprived for a Debate

April 24, 2008 6:33 PM

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".

Obama is simply not presidential caliber...

I seem to discern a marked difference in the way MSNBC, CNN and radio talk show pundits are talking about Hillary? Has anyone else noticed that since Hillary's Pennsylvania win, that they the script is being flipped in her favor?

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

fat cat:

I've been long bored with the Clintonista's attempts to steal this election.

I WILL vote in November, and will not vote for McCain or Nader. Should she manage to steal the election, I will vte for Hillabeans, because even SHE is better than McBush.

thankfully, I won't have to make that choice, as Obama will be our nominee.

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

We are very pleased to see that CNN has corrected its 10% lead to a 9.31 to a 9% in PA, Hillary the Bosnian General has not got 10% lead again another"mispoke", that is a good correction because fairness of media is essential in everything. Obama is just incredible overcoming a 25% lead in 2 weeks, that is extraordinary, a great leadership and a great vision. Hillary is unlectable, a reality to live with and get over it. In real terms Obama won PA. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08

Hillary's goose is cooked and the democratic party will never be the same.

Ummm, wasnt her sniper fire story done cause she was tired?

By the way this is Lie #5 for the week.

61 out of 67 counties, 99% of geographic areas in PA!

They all went to HRC.

Rob, there is no need for a debate which will not address issues American are facing, but personal issues and matters. You are right and Obama is right, NO MORE DEBATE with a person who is too low and uses dirty tactics from Karl Rove's play book. The last was with Goerge and ABC, it is over. God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08

I dunno,Rob, but MSNBC, CNN, and the rest of the MSM is not talking about Hillary's Bosnia story. They are talking about the Jeremiah Wright interview with Bill Moyers that will air tomorrow night. They have leaked parts of that interview and all of the newscasters are saying that interview is Barack's worst nightmare. This interview has not formally aired yet, but it is being covered extensively by MSM already...

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

With Obama, you'll never hear issues being discussed. He just mouths rhetoric about going to a better place but never mentioning where that might be.

Posted by: S | Apr 24, 2008 8:47:02 PM

I don't like the constant ranting that Clinton should quit she is messing everything up.

Women have always been told they should sacrifice themselves for the good of the group.

She has the right to stay in this race as long as she wants to.

I will vote Democratic either way!

Rick - Yes, I saw it,too. I then turned to CNN and heard him get beat up some more, by Gloria Borgia (of all people!) and the rest of the panel, to include the black journalist (can't remember her name). I think the tide is finally turning - It should really be interesting tomorrow night when Uncle Jeremiah's interview with Bill Moyers airs. I am hearing what the pundits are saying now, what will America say when they hear it? I bet Obama is swilling something stronger than kool-aid tonight! lol :D

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

Hillary will take her campaign all the way to the convention, if need be. Actually, all she has to do is wait this guy out. He and his campaign is already unraveling ...

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

Clinton was and still is the best candidate. Obama is scared to death to debate anymore because of his embarrassing performance last week. He's afraid to open his mouth now, giving lame excuses before the PA primary so he wouldn't have to do any interviews. Anything that he does now will be well scripted I guarantee. Watch him evade and obfuscate on FOX Sunday. I actually feel sort of sorry for him, with his sales people not around to tell him what to say, he looks lost sometimes.

Who will interview Obama on Fox??? Obama had better pray it's not that Major Garrett guy! He will eat his lunch.

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

For everyone who doesn't see the benefit in another debate, just don't watch it! I, for one, take this nomination process seriously. This is not American Idol or a photo contest. This is about determining who the next leader is for this great nation. If you can't go the distance, stay on the sidelines. I do, however, EXPECT every candidate to debate all the way to the convention, if necessary. In this particular case, the more we know about our candidates, the more informed we will be when we ALL vote in November. So, please, enough with the whining!

"Obama is simply not presidential caliber...".

Amen.

Posted by: Jkan | Apr 24, 2008 9:20:11 PM

If Obama was really about the issues, he'd welcome another debate with Hillary. As another opportunity to get his ideas out. But he can't debate as he stands on sinking sand. His ideas fall short for America & Hillary again would prove she is the one with workable, sensible, complete solutions to get America back on track. Write is Wrong ! & there are a host of skelatons in Obamas closet that hasn't gotton out yet. Hillary has been far too nice to Obama. McCain will clean his clock. Hillary is the only sensible choice for America.
