Why the debate? Honestly??

[msallied]

What more is yet ANOTHER debate going to solve? First of all, it continues to lend legitimacy to Clinton's tanking campaign (Obama should be preparing to debate John McCain, if anybody) and there have been dozens of debates since the start of this primary. Does anyone think that this debate will do any good?

OF course, given the headlines of late, it may give Obama a chance to capitalize on Hill's pandering bullshit, but seeing as how this debate was scheduled before that, I'm curious as to why this is happening so late in the game.

2. This will be the one where Barack nails it, and Hillary shows her true colors.

I think this is the debate that will show Hillary for the miserable candidate that she is.

I only hope Mark Penn advises her as to how she handles it. My prediction is that she will play to the Bill O'Reilly/Sean Hannity crowd, and that may win her Pennsylvania, but assures that she loses the nomination.

Wonderful. If I was a Pennsylvanian, I would put that on my car in a heartbeat.

3. Clinton had insisted on all these debates way back.

Remember when she wanted to debate every week after her Super Tuesday losses through to March 4?

For a campaign that is running out of money, debate = free press.

And you are right, after 20+ previous debates, there's nothing more for them to debate really.

And as an FYI, the Philadelphia debate was also pushed by PA-1 Congressman Robert Brady, who heads up the Democratic Party here in Philadelphia.
