I think Obama should debate Hillary again!! Soon!
He has done well in all of the debates except the last one when the moderators just wanted to hammer him on non-issue stuff.

If he shines in another debate it helps win Indiana and end this mess with Hillary.

And a good debate performance makes Obama stronger against McCain.

I think if we don't debate Hillary soom then she will beat us up with it.

I guess I have more confidence in Obama!!!!

1. Why give her the free TV time? She can't buy any more.
21 is enough

17. He IS scared!
Of COURSE Obama is afraid to debate. If he weren't, he would do so.

He's also afraid to let re-votes happen in michigan and Florida because he knows he would lose.

Runaway Obama.

3. I don't agree
She is no longer a viable candidate.
She's dead in the water. Donations will dry up completely when people realize she only gains a couple of delegates from PA.
We can't stop her from getting free air time whenever she can, but Obama doesn't have to be complicit.

4. NO
Hillary needs the free airtime, Obama does not.

Make Hillary pay for her airtime, since she only uses it to try and damage Obama.

Forcing her to spend money she doesnt have will be the fastest way to end this.

5. Terrible idea
That would be as silly as if McCain had agreed to debate Huckabee after McCain had mathematically locked up the nomination.

It will give people the impression that the primary is still going on. It's not.

6. no no a thousand times no
These debates are stupid...they aren't debates. They just let the one liners pile up. No more debates.

7. Convential wisdom says, that the underdog want debates and the leader doesn't
The leader is already in the lead and has nothing to gain and everything to lose, while the trailing person has everything to gain and nothing to lose

12. No, only is Bill Moyers is the moderator, and debate is on PBS
No more cable-only debates and no more trust the "mainstream
networks." The only person with enough integrity to moderate
a REAL debate would be Moyers. With him at the helm, perhaps
we might actually learn something new about these candidates.

14. You read my mind -- with Bill Moyers as moderator
Not Gwen Ifill (sorry, she skews right), no Jim Lehrer (been there,
done that). Bill Moyers is a thoughtful man who could even handle
discussing the religious issues that have been so much a part of
this primary process in a way that wouldn't be personal attacks.
Maybe have Kathleen Hall Jameson (his frequent guest) as a co-
moderator.

18. Now that he's interviewed Wright, it ain't gonna happen ...
Unfortunately.

I really wish he'd interviewed Wright earlier ...

13. Whatever happened to the League of Women Voters?
They used to moderate Presidential debates, and did so impartially.

Obama's right to refuse invitations to "debates" like the ABC ambush.

16. I don't.
There doesn't need to be anymore debates, it's just beating a dead horse, so to speak.
