Incredible! It seems that Barack Obama is afraid that his campaign couldn’t withstand another debate with Hillary Clinton. Debates, after all, are the quickest way to expost an “empty shirt.” Thus, he has refused to debate Clinton before the Indiana and North Carolina primaries.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Sunday brushed aside a challenge from Hillary Rodham Clinton to debate before the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
Only his most blindly loyal disciples will see his refusal to debate Clintonas anything over than classic (but misguided) CYA. His performance at the last debate was weak, and why should he subject himself to another situation where he would come off as less than the Obamessiah himself?
A debate is the quickest way to expose an empty shirt. Both Hillary and Barack know that, and that’s why Barack is running away.
The average candidate - and certainly a strong candidate - would say, “Bring it on. I’m happy to debate you anywhere, anytime.” For a strong candidate, a debate is a quick way to win votes. For a weak candidate, it’s a quick way to lose votes. And so Barack Obama responded, “No, I’ve debated enough.” What a wimp.

Okay, let’s gain some perspective here. He has debated her so many times ,and really, there is only so much these two can rehash over and over and over. Either way…it’s enough. It has nothing to do with him being afraid of her camp…need i remind you - take a look at the numbers, there is NO way she will win.
Good luck.

Another debate covering what? The REAL issues, or rumors and innuendo?
They should talk about the economy, gas prices, the Iraq occupation, etetera.
She would want to talk about rumors and hearsay.

Whatever - there IS a way Hillary can win. Don’t make assumptions. And Jeff - what rumors and innuendo? There are no rumors and hearsay that I know of when it comes to Obama - everything is out in the open, and he has been loud and clear in expressing his beliefs.
