Obama should challenge Hillary to accept the debate in NC & to release her tax returns-NO JOKE.

[jenmito]

While Hillary's playing around for April Fools' Day, the reality is SHE has still NOT accepted the chance to debate Obama in NC. Nor is she releasing her tax returns 'til 3 days before the PA primary, and who knows how much she'll leave out.

ENOUGH with the "light-hearted jokes" which are written out for you and the "tough" Rocky references. Be a woman and stop avoiding the REAL issues!

1. I'm surprised that she hasn't agreed to an NC debate...

especially after she was challenging him to all those debate a while ago...

Anybody have any insight on this?

[jenmito]

2. I think she's scared because NC is friendlier to him than to her (I think.)

She was quick to accept the one in PA. She's like Bush-she only likes to speak in front of friendly crowds.

7. Makes sense to me.

:hi:

8. Just a guess...

but I think I'm right. Thanks. :hi:

3. Hillary has become a pale reflection of herself. . Her credibility is hanging by a thread.

People are having a tough time taking her seriously.

Obama is focusing on McCain and issues, not on Hillary.

[jenmito]

5. It's a good thing for her that he's not making ads in NC questioning why she's refusing to debate

him like she did in WI.

11. Focusing on McCain? You obviously haven't been paying attention.

[jenmito]

12. Have YOU? He HAS been focusing on McCain!

[AZBlue]

17. How could he focus on anything so ridiculous.

4. He needs to challenge her. Brushing her off is only playing into her victim strategy.

[jenmito]

6. Challenging her could also be turned into "bullying" her. She'll find a way.

Or her husband will-the big boy is bullying the little girl into a debate.

9. Who the heck CARES if Hillary debates in NC? Obama is favored. He doesn't need a debate.

If Hillary can't get up the resolve to debate, who the xxxx cares?

[jenmito]

10. North Carolinians should care or at least be aware-especially since Hillary told them Obama

doesn't their votes to count.

[earthlover]

13. I am on your side. But Hillary is the only one who can gain by a debate.

It is of no particular value to Obama to insist on a debate. We have had 20 already, and most have been tedium, dominate by stupid questions by the media.

So if Hillary, as cash starved as her campaign is, is willing to pass up some free air time....well, you go girl!

I could give a rip. The ball is in Hillary's court. If she wants to debate, fine. If not....oh well.

[jenmito]

15. I disagree...after the LAST debate, those who saw the debate were MORE likely to vote for

him something like 59%-39% and the reverse numbers for those who did NOT see the debate.

He's gotten very good at these debates, showing he's cool, calm, and collected with a sense of humor, while she has gotten booed once at both of the one-on-one debates.

[anonymous171]

14. He needs to challenge her. She can't play the victim when while being "Rocky"

Make her eat her own fucking narrative.

[jenmito]

16. I would love for him to challenge her. n/t
