Thu Feb 7, 2008 8:39pm EST

OMAHA, Nebraska (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama agreed on Thursday to hold two more debates with rival Hillary Clinton before March 4, officials from his campaign said.

One debate will take place on February 26 in Cleveland, Ohio. The other will take place in Texas on a date to be determined.

Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont hold nominating contests on March 4.

Clinton had pushed to hold five debates in that period, but Obama rejected that, saying he needed to spend more time at campaign events with voters.

5. So he'll debate where he is losing, but not where he's ahead?

Texas and Ohio are fine....but Wisconsin and Hawaai don't get debates. Yeah, Obama really is a different kind of politician.

2. Let's hope they skip a Fox Noise debate

Fox should not be legitimized.

3. Maybe Bill Clinton will come out from Cheney's undisclosed place of hiding for the debate.

Where's Billy?

4. Obama, maybe not the best idea to debate more

How many more, there have been 18!..the last one should have closed the deal for debates..not a good idea.
