Clinton Tries a Different Debate Debate
South Bend, Ind. -- Sen. Barack Obama says he's done debating, but he's facing a double team effort to force him into another one-on-one session with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The New York Senator again challenged him to a debate in Indiana, but with a new twist: no moderators.
"Just the two of us going for 90 minutes asking and answering questions," Clinton said to a crowd of several thousand at a rally held at a minor-league baseball stadium here. "We'll set whatever rules seem fair."
Speaking of voters in Indiana and around the country, she said "they would love seeing that kind of debate and discussion, remember that's what happened during the Lincoln-Douglas debates ..... I think that would be good for the Democratic Party, it would be good for our democracy and it would be great for Indiana."
Just before Clinton issues her challenge, Obama ruled out more debates in a taped interview with Fox News that will air Sunday.
"We've had 21 and so what we've said we're two weeks, two big states we want to make sure we're talking to as many folks as possible on the ground taking questions from voters," Obama said. "We're not going to have debates between now and Indiana."
Obama was also pressed on the debate issue by former president Bill Clinton. Appearing in North Bend, a small town in Oregon, former President Bill Clinton, said while laying out his wife's proposals that "I wish that we could have debates on all this."
"Hillary has proposed that Oregon should have two debates, one on the issues generally and one on you, on rural life in America today and what should be done," Bill Clinton said, according to ABC News. "And if you agree you oughta make your feelings known, either on her Web site or some other way."
The Clintons have repeatedly called for debates in North Carolina and Indiana, which vote on May 6 and in Oregon, which holds a primary on May 20.
Much more interesting stuff (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/04/26/clinton_tries_a_different_deba.html)

Barry "Goldwater" Obama doesn't want to debate Messalina Agrippina, because Messalina Agrippina would knock him out, and quickly.
That's Barry "Goldwater" Obama's biggest weakness, by the way, for the general election campaign; he wouldn't last five minutes up against John McCain.
The deal is, Barry "Goldwater" Obama doesn't have any experience with this sort of confrontation, what with journalists and debate moderators being very careful to ask him only softball questions.
The questions Messalina Agrippina has for him--or John McCain if God forbid Barry "Goldwater" Obama's the Democrat candidate--would be like throwing bowling balls.

it has been obsrved that the only tough election that he ever faced up until this point -- as US congressman for his district, if memory serves -- he lost.
he also called himself "commander in chief" a few times in the last debate. I literally laughed out loud. despite his flaws, I think mccain matches up well against him.
