Another debate?
Quite frankly, I've already have enough of debates. Actually, one too many...the last ABC debate was not a debate but an attempt at a symbolic lynching.

However, I would like to see one more debate under the following terms:

1. The debate would be held at the University of Illinois or the University of North Carolina.

2. Moderators would only serve as referees...timing, etc.

3. The candidates would submit ten questions each. The economy, Iraq, Iran, gas prices, etc.

4. The remaining questions would come from the audience, the students in attendance. Their questions would be significantly more intelligent, and relevant to meaningful issues, than those posed by the ABC moderators...could do no worse than those jokers.

There's one question in particular that I'd like an answer to: Hillary, how do you propose going about nuking, and obliterating, the people of Iran? This would obviously include women and children? Shall we use pilot-less aircraft or missiles? That would surely be more humane...at least for the one pushing the button. How shall we handle the fallout? Russia?

2. She doesn't deserve any more free airtime to impugn his character
She already has the entire MSM doing that for her. He shows
his intelligence by NOT agreeing to this.

3. I definitely agree...
however, Hillary was never asked the tough questions.

In particular, there has to be an answer as to the nuking of Iran. No one is making an issue of this. On most issues there's nothing new to debate.

I did say that there's already been one too many debates...probably ten.

4. I'd still like to see her answer about Mark Penn/Colombia and Scaife
Maybe if they DO end up doing another debate, she'll have to
respond to these.

7. Yep...
and no help from the MSM.

Keith Olbermann might be the only opportunity to explore these issues.

By the way, I'm a registered republican voting for Barack Obama in the general election...did vote for JFK. In short, hell would freeze over before I would even consider the pathological liar. Being a republican, that's not Hillary bashing...it's the truth. I have the luxury of being able to say this.

IT IS OVER, Barack Obama will be your candidate so y'all will get my vote.

5. She blew her chance with her last bs. Obama has the power and should say NO.
She is broke and can not compete. She needs no more free time to throuh Obama under the bus,
