No more debates for Obama - A simple solution!
If the people in Indiana, Oregon and any other remaining primary state want a debate tell them Obama is not interested.

Just Rerun the ABC debate for those voters. I am sure ABC will sell the rights to air it on another network as a service to democracy.

Or it can rerun it on the local ABC affiliates in those states.

Simple solution and it will not take time away from the candidates.

1. Nah, I'd rather re-run the MSNBC debate where Hillary couldn't even name the new leader of Russia.

9. yeah, capital gains tax increase will tank a weak economy
Hillary was only marginally better on that, but I think she would listen to her economist

10. Now, now...
Gains are taxed when they are realized.

If someone is liquidating their holdings, I wouldn't think they are doing much for the economy.

3. Mike Gravel should be invited too. As long as we're inviting candidates that already lost..

7. So that's all it amounts to - using that or a debate for an attack on Obama.
I'm all game for a real debate without the Disney characters?
