All previous debates have been a media directed joke with media commentators questioning candidates in a soft, cupcake style format. Maybe if they have a real debate people will get to see something.(By the way if we compare numbers based on the electoral college, the way the general election will be conducted, Clinton is defeating Obama 267 votes to 187 votes.

He has more important things to worry about. Like condeming his Minister for all the hate America speech that he has made. Besides, if you go by the numbers he has the nomination locked up.

If Obama debates Hillary he may not do very well. If he doesn't debate her, he is going to look weak and afraid. If he can’t handle Hillary, how is he going to handle the world affairs? What a Wimp. I'm disappointed in both candidates, but I had rather sit down and have a beer with Hillary then go to church with Obama. Jerry B. Its a Catch 22. If Obama debates Hillary he may not do very well.

She 's a desperate lady looking for any opportunity to attack Obama. She is an actress playing all kinds of roles---I can't beleive that anyone could beleive a word she says. Obama has his hands full with the media keeping this Rev Wright stuff going. I'm beginning to think it's all the negetivity from the Clinton campaign has carried over to all the news channnels. It's hard enough for him to campaign against Bill, Hillary,and McCain, let alone having to defend himself against all the controversy that the media keeps playing over and over.

Obama is right to ignore Sen. Clinton's demand for another debate. The Clintons have had over 20 years to talk directly to the America people. Sen. Obama has had nothing of the sort. Frankly, Wolfe Blitzer seems to have become a vehicle for constant nuanced regurgitation of the Clinton's demands and views, and this is not coming across too well. Sen. Obama is right to ignore Sen.

Why should Obama give her more free air time? Here we have a Caucasian woman who is willing to go for the jugular, an African-American gentleman who isn't interested in mudslinging, and a shallow media that keeps its advertisers happy by encouraging sensationalism over substance. Obama and the majority of the American people don't want to play this game any longer. The only reason Clinton can act like she's still in the race is because the media is "enabling" her.

Just wait until he becomes President and we find out who he REALLY is. Then all of America will ask, "How could we have elected this man without knowing him?" Americans are so enamored with stardom, instead of wisdom, that we get what we deserve every time... another con artist.
