WASHINGTON — Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, once so eager to debate she ran two ads questioning why her rival wouldn't, has yet to say whether she'll debate Sen. Barack Obama in North Carolina next month.

Both presidential candidates plan to participate in an ABC News debate on April 16 in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania holds it primary days later, on April 22. Obama also has agreed to a debate April 19 hosted by CBS in North Carolina. North Carolina holds its primary May 6.

1. Concerns over sniper fire.

will likely be her excuse. Or maybe she could spin it as gaining more Foreign Policy experience. So much for Hillary wanting to debate anywhere anytime.

3. bwalol

[AmericanUnity]

10. LMAO !!! IF IT"S NEAR WATER THERE could be DUCKS

[chocome]

5. More than 30 retired Admirals & Generals believe Hillary would be the strongest Commander-in-Chief

[AmericanUnity]

12. WHEN DID THEY EVER SEE HER 'IN ACTION' SINCE SHE HAD NO SECURITY CLEARANCE?

[DJ13]

2. Maybe she's not sure she'll still be in the race by then?

:shrug:

[maddiejoan]

4. I don't think she trusts Katie Couric to be a good moderator.

[Hippo_Tron]

6. If that's the case, she should come out and say it

[Hawkeye-X]

9. Couric supports Hillary...

Just sayin'...

nothing to bash here...

:hi:

[AmericanUnity]

13. With Couric's ratings she could be history soon too

[maddiejoan]

14. where do you get that Couric supports Clinton?

Nothing in your link suggests that at all.

[Hawkeye-X]

16. A search in google....

Ok. I'll concede that I wasn't sure. Lots of right-wing links out there. Newsbusters and Faux News, for example. I won't post them, since they're a virtual waste of my time.

I'll give that one to you, maddiejoan.

[maddiejoan]

17. My perception of Couric

is that she has always been a GOP member.

[Hawkeye-X]

18. Ok. I'll take your word for it.

I don't watch the press anyway. I heard a rumor on Couric, and couldn't find evidence suggesting that, except for right-wing links.

[Alexander]

28. Then she should definitely be...

A strong Hillary Clinton supporter.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. How is that "ducking"?

She hasn't said no, has she?

[TheDonkey]

21. Well it isn't like the ducking she did fleeing sniper gunfire in Bosnia

but she is not committing when she previously ran campaign ads on wanting to debate anytime anywhere

[Skip Intro]

8. I have no doubt she'll debate Obama as often as he would like.

[jenmito]

11. Maybe because she knows she'll be called on not releasing PAST tax returns.

I think now she's only planning on releasing this year's.

[MonkeyFunk]

24. And Obama only released one year.

The clintons have released 20 years of their past tax returns. She's got a fine answer to the question, and she has no fear of it.

[Drachasor]

27. Ha! Clinton has released nothing since 2000. Obama has in fact released far more than one year

A number of them before 2006 were to newspapers and such.

Clinton has not be examined on this for quite a while now.

[MonkeyFunk]

29. My point is that she has a perfectly fine answer to the question

and that wouldn't keep her from a debate.

[Drachasor]

30. And what is that mysterious answer, exactly? I haven't heard it

[Tatiana]

15. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton! MEET ME IN NORTH CAROLINA!!!!!1111 n/t

[TheDonkey]

23. lol

That little pissy rant of hers was the worst ever.

[emilyg]

19. 4-19 is Passover night.

Carry on.

[backscatter712]

20. She's sore from being repeatedly thrown on her butt by Obama's verbal jiu-jitsu.

Sorry, but she got schooled repeatedly, and she obviously doesn't want to repeat the experience again.

[Unsane]

22. yeppers

[anonymous171]

25. The "fighter" illusion exists only because she fights onlly when she's guaranteed to win.

Gives her the illusion of invincibility.

[anamandujano]

26. "has yet to say"

Yup, she's scared of fluff ball alright.

:eyes:

[Orsino]

31. She's playing it as safe as possible until PA...

...and won't do anything to endanger her presumed lead, such as releasing tax returns or debating.
