Why doesn't Obama challenge Hillary to a debate solely on the Iraq war? |
|
I want to see her try to weasel out of it.

The American people know where both of them stand.
It would be a tactical error for the Obama campaign to consent to yet another.

7. Why would she "weasel?" They vote EXACTLY THE SAME on funding, |
|
and Obama has said he really doesn't know how he would have voted if he'd been in the Senate at the time.
She'd JUMP on the opportunity. After all, Obama wants to stay in Iraq at LEAST a year and a half longer, and more if "uh...the generals....uh" tell him it's important to stay. BE interesting to see if the Crown family of Chicago helped him with that strategic plan...
Hillary has said we're leaving, no exceptions, starting sixty to ninety days after she takes the oath.
"That's a debate she'd LOVE to have"--to approximate a comment Obama uses all the time. She'd debate him on that ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, and on a moment's notice.

17. I would bet a LOT of money on that. I doubt any bookie would give odds. |
|
It's a slam-dunk that she'd take that debate. Obama SUCKS at debate. He's not just bad, he's awful. Between the monotone and the Uh....uhmmmmm....uh-ing that he does, you can see his 'people meter' tanking everytime he opens his mouth.
It would not be ANY "risk" for Clinton. It would be a prize.

10. That is a great idea. As long as the moderators don't work for corporate media. |
|
It would have been great to have single issue debates with "expert" moderators throughout the campaign, but it didn't happen.
Instead we got insulting, manipulative, corporate media crap.

Any Debate with Clinton is a waste of time. Obama has to deal with the Campaign against McCain and the GOP smear machine. Clinton is no longer relevant.

12. because, like it or not, people paying $4 for gas don't want to hear only about the war |
|
The war, like it or not, isn't the number one issue anymore. Its the economy, and asking to hold a debate that ignored the issue that is of greatest interest to the voters would be suicide.

20. Make it Lincoln-douglas-like with strict time limits. |
|
I.e. a computer cuts off the mic if they go 10 seconds over.
