Just another example of how Obama's not afraid to take her on but she's afraid to take HIM on if it's not on turf friendly to her. I wish Obama would give a statement saying, "Meet me in North Carolina to debate transparency and tax returns!" :D

1. Hillary's "fighter" claim comes from only fighting battles she is guaranteed to win.

6. Then why not just say yes for now?
If she drops out, OBVIOUSLY it would be canceled.

4. Because
She's planning to project the image of frontrunner after PA regardless of how close it is, and regardless of the near-stagnant movement of delegate differential, and the frontrunner doesn't give the challenger free air time.

7. Then Obama's the bigger person since HE accepted debates SHE requested when he was in the lead.

He didn't MIND giving her free air time since he was confident in himself. She even ran an ad asking what he was afraid of.

Typical media bias.

10. You just answered your own question.
But Obama's approach is smarter.
