The Feb. 26 debate in Ohio between Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is on, a Clinton campaign spokesman confirmed today.
Clinton initially agreed to the debate at Cleveland State University, but balked after an MSNBC anchor made a tasteless on-the-air remark about her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
"We have agreed to the MSNBC debate in Ohio," Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said during a conference call with reporters this afternoon. "As many of you know, we have expressed concerens about that network but we do not believe that those concerns should stand in the way of allowing the people of Ohio to see an important debate between the two candidates. And so, we will have a debate in Ohio. Senator Clinton is very much looking forward to it."
