Mixed Message? Clinton Issues Wisc. Challenge, Says She's Leaving Early

[JackORoses]

Hillary Rodham Clinton renewed her call Saturday to debate Democratic rival Barack Obama in Wisconsin before Tuesday's primary, even as she acknowledged she would cease campaigning in the state a full day before voters go to the polls.

"This is what happens when you've got the kind of schedules that we're all trying to keep up with," she said. "I care deeply about what happens here in this election."
...
Clinton told an audience she supported gun rights, two days after a student opened fire on the campus of Northern Illinois University, killing five before turning the gun on himself. Clinton said she believed in getting guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill even as she favored protecting the rights of law abiding gun owners.

"I've gone hunting," she said. "I know you may not believe it, but it's true. My father taught us to shoot."

Clinton told reporters later she had once shot a duck in Arkansas, along with "a lot of tin cans, targets and some skeet."

Look out everyone, here comes Shotgun Hilly!

She would rather shoot Obama in the face at a debate then take her campaign to the people.

1. Well, shooting skeet is OK

if you eat what you kill.

I wonder if she field dressed her own skeet.

[TwilightGardener]

3. LOL! I don't like skeet, they're too crunchy.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. It's all in how you cook 'em.

[wellstone dem]

25. Lots of onions, green pepper, mushrooms, and butter

yummmm skeet!

(Or maybe it's my diet starved appetite that is controlling me.)

[Yael]

2. "I care deeply about what happens here in this election"

...so after I leave Monday morning for Texas, I will expect a call letting me know what the results were.

[nomorewhopper]

18. for hillary, its about the election, not the chance to make a difference

she just wants to win, and you can tell by teh words she chooses to use

[MADem]

4. Actual headline.

Clinton Again Calls on Obama to Debate
Hillary Clinton Renews Call for Barack Obama to Debate in Wisconsin Before Tuesday Primary

[JackORoses]

6. Look on the abcnews.com front page and you will see the Headline from the OP

sorry if you can't handle it.

[MADem]

15. Sorry if I can't handle it? What, your misleading spin? I can handle that just fine.

It's your "suggestion" to those who do not click through that I was interested in correcting. See, I "handled" it with no problem.

Sorry if YOU can't handle that--apparently you can't, since you felt compelled to snark.

:hi:

:rofl:

[Yael]

19. Thats the headline allright

Mixed Message? Clinton Issues Wis. Challenge, Says She's Leaving Early
Clinton presses Obama for Wis. debate, but admits she'll leave state day before primary.

[DJ13]

7. Poor Bill

Bill better watch himself, next time he's caught in an "is is" moment Hillary's packin heat.

[speedoo]

8. I see Hillary is still treating voters like idiots.

Smart lady, but it seems there are some things she will never learn.

[murielm99]

9. What an inflammatory post.

The bulk of the article addresses Clinton's desire to debate her opponent. You skipped most of that.

Shoot Obama in the face? Where do you get that from the article? Why can't Obamites stick to the facts?

[JackORoses]

11. 'shooting Obama in the face' is a metaphor for attacking him on a public stage

She desperately needs the airtime and the opportunity to drag him down.

The whole point is that she is so amped to have a debate in a state which she can't even be bothered to campaign in.

She is the definition of Hypocrisy.

[Adsos Letter]

13. I wish they WOULD debate more...

...more issue-focused debates can only help the electorate make an educated decision.

[Yael]

21. But thats the headline. c/p from abcnews.com:

Mixed Message? Clinton Issues Wis. Challenge, Says She's Leaving Early
Clinton presses Obama for Wis. debate, but admits she'll leave state day before primary.

:shrug:

[grantcart]

24. 18 debates plus 2 more fact. calling for debates is always a losers last moan

[LadyVT]

10. She's in Wisconsin today

[JackORoses]

12. glad she finally made it, she's leaving tomorrow

The 'little people' of Wisconsin should be happy that they were given even that much time.

They understand that Texas is really all that matters, I'm sure.

[juajen]

16. Are you really a democrat?

[Alexander]

17. Are you?

I guess if anyone dare criticizes St. Hillary, they can't be a real Democrat. :eyes:

[JackORoses]

23. I'm from the democratic wing of the Democratic Party

you might not be familiar with it...

[PeaceNikki]

22. Finally? She's been here for a few days. Attended appearances in Kenosha, Wausau, Milwaukee, etc.

Obama cancelled appearances today here as well. Perhaps you missed the news of massive winter storm here?

[thoughtcrime1984]

14. She let down literally TENS of people

by cancelling her stop in my city, to get to Texas earlier.

[Yael]

20. LOL!!

[Thrill]

26. Where exactly does she have to be? TX and OH are 2 weeks away

I thought her lead was so comfortable there. Why does she have to spend so much extra time there?

[jmg257]

27. Wow - Hillary too is NOW pro-gun? God I LOVE elections! nt
