KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - With the state primary looming Tuesday, Hillary Rodham Clinton is renewing her call to debate Democratic rival Barack Obama in Wisconsin.

The call comes even as Clinton acknowledged plans to scale back campaigning in the state. She'll leave one full day before voters go to the polls.

She says the best way to meet the people of Wisconsin is through a televised debate that everyone could watch.

The Obama campaign continues to note that the candidates have already debated 18 times since the campaign began. The two are scheduled to debate in Ohio and Texas in the next two weeks.

Clinton advisers have downplayed her chances in Wisconsin even as polling indicates the race could be close here. The state is home to many liberal, college-educated Democrats who have typically favored Obama. But it also boasts a large population of white working-class voters who form the core of Clinton's electoral base.

thats the best way for people to see the person you portray

you meet the people in the streets or in the town halls where the people are.

Yet another debate (would it be the 21st?) in exchange for the tax return of the Duplicitous Duo.
