    We do not need more debates here in Indiana. If you cannot make up your mind, more debate won't really help (better just use a coin).

    Somehow I get the feeling that if the situation was reversed and Hillary was winning by every measurable metric, she wouldn’t be screaming for more debates.

    I have no doubts about it. Of course she wouldn't be calling for more debates. Why? Because she's a politician, as is Barack. It took Barack a while to figure out that debating her wasn't the best idea around, for reasons known only to him, I guess. Better late than never!




    Impeach Bush.

    I'm still waiting for an explanation as to why Obama wouldn't want to redeem himself after an ass kicking. Unless of course, you just want to admit he'd take another ass kicking if he debated again.

    I didn't pay any attention to this thread because I generally don't care about another Democratic debate. That being said, if they would do a debate in this style, I'd definitely watch. It's a really interesting format, and I would hope it would be used in the future.

    Why would Obama debate her? He's beating her. She's lost. The only thing a debate can do is give her a chance to gain ground. He can't say anything new in any of them. There is nothing that he can say to really increase his lead at this point. All a debate can do is give her a chance to hammer home his negatives more and try to siphon off of his lead to continue to perpetuate the idea that he can't close out an election in order to scare the super delegates.

    He's being smart to stop doing these meaningless things.

    This coming from someone who isn't a fan of his, thinks he's shallow words and catchphrases, and won't vote for him.

    I'm not surprised at another ignorant response from you. You've been running your mouth about the character of your man Obama and now when asked a legitimate question regarding his character that you know that you can't spin, you are silent.

    I think you need to "get over" that phony candidate that you've been stumping for.

    Because he's losing some steam and came off looking clueless in the last debate.

    what does character have to do with another debate when they've already debated 21 times LOL

    no my issue with you is that you're trying to define this discussion. obama got beat in the last debate? says who what does a win in a debate mean. what does character have to do with any of this?

    The original debate wasn't really a debate. The first guy spoke for 1 hour. The second one spoke for 1 1/2 hours. And the first speaker got the last 30 minutes.

    Like I've stated many times, he's running from an azzwhooping. That shows a lack of character. Consensus was... he lost the last debate. He's afraid he will get kicked around again. He looked uncomfortable without his teleprompter. He got irritated with the tough questions. He looked like a guy not ready for the hot seat. The consensus was that his competitor did better responding to issues. Face it...he lost that debate.
