1. Quick NanceGreggs vote ...

NO.

If Hill wants air-time, she should BUY it - oh, that's right, she CAN'T.

Too bad.

4. No, but either way he loses! If he doesn't, he comes across as cowardly...

...if he does, he needs a lot more prep than he had during the last debate Hillary. Hillary has lived this stuff! I'd love to see it...a great Civics lesson, but I hope Obama isn't rambling along so boringly this time. He is better when he is reading from a tele-prompter in front of him.

6. No, Hillary can continue to ask for a debate, mano a mano

and make Obama look weak for not accepting, she beats him with it and loses nothing because she was so strong in the last debate next to him.

She could also suggest just rerunning the last debate.

She doesn't need another debate, she just needs to keep it fresh in the publics mind

24. Hilary can continue to ask for a debate, "hand to hand"?

Huh? Check your usage!

[Diane R]

7. Barack should not debate, because, for the love of God, I can't stand to hear her voice again.

[biscotti]

8. No 51%

[RBInMaine]

9. "SLAMS CORPORATE-OWNED MEDIA" is the best headline I've seen in a long time.

[EFerrari]

10. No. Done.

[Cha]

12. Oh Hell, NO. Not's that it's any business of clintonnoisenetwork.

Obama does what he wants not what hilary or cnn whines about.

[ccharles000]

14. Yes

[bowens43]

16. online polls are meaningless

[bklyncowgirl]

17. I'm an Obama supporter and I honestly think he should agree to the debate

Clinton's going to paint him as a coward and ride it as hard as a jockey coming down the stretch at Churchill Downs. The media will pick it up and run with it along with the notion that he is an elitist.

How does elitist coward sound to you.


I won't answer that in the poll, however.

[Vinca]

23. Except if he bows to her wishes he looks like a wimp.

No one said a thing back when Hillary was ahead and refused to debate. She refused to debate during her Senate campaign. Obama should pretend she doesn't exist and go about his business.

[bklyncowgirl]

25. Well that's true also--sort of a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. nt

[cboy4]

18. Yes. I'd like Obama to have yet another chance to apologize

for allowing a notorious homophobe to spew anti-gay hate at one of his campaign events.

I mean, if he can force himself to appear on Fox NewsChannel, certainly he can just say he's sorry.

What's the big deal?

[indimuse]

19. YES!!!

If Hillary was scared to debate Barack bok bok...All the DU freaks would want her HEAD ON A PLATTER!


WHO F*ckking cares what CNN polls showed once...Indiana and NC want a debate!

[Yossariant]

20. Hell NO. He's on the run. Keep it that way.

[Mass]

21. If it were a true Lincoln-Douglas debate, I would not disagree and

Obama would probably win. an hour uninterrupted for each candidate, then half an hour rebuttal.

Somehow, I do not think this is what Clinton has in mind.

22. Should Nancy Kerrigan agree to cage match with Tonya Harding? n/t

[anonymous171]

26. They're is hardly any difference between them, so a debate would be stupid.
