The campaign rolls on
After Hillary Clinton put up a rather silly and, of course, patently false ad accusing Barack Obama of being afraid to debate her, he responded with one of the most effective counter ads I've seen in a while.
And, in other good news, he's picked up the endorsement of the the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, is expected to land the endorsement of the Service Employees International Union and, in really interesting news, African-American superdelegates who originally backed Clinton, are now either switching to or leaning toward Obama ... including Rep. John Lewis.

Jmac - dont dismay about Clinton becoming the nominee. I say wait until we see what happens in Texas et al and be prepared for the earth to move on March 4 because Ben and I are going to vote for Obama as I think ALOT of conservatives will. Stay tuned...
So when will a debate occur? Seriously. I did not vote for either one of them (I voted early when Edwards was still in the hunt) and would like to do a side by side comparison.
She would love to be the one calling the tune, leading the dance, and her tacky way of doing it is to demand he come off the trail to debate her.
Frontrunners have no reason to debate their oponents on their terms, he's already agreed to a debate w/her, on MSNBC, the 25th or 26th of this month. Unless that tasteless comment by one of their commentators about Chelsea gives her an excuse to pull out of that one.
They've met in debates 18 times, I'm sorry if you missed all 18, or were so focused on your guy that you didn't listen to Hillary and Obama. But she is NOT running the race anymore, Obama is, and he gets to say what debates they have. She's just grasping at straws at this point.
Why should he stop campaigning to help her in the states she needs to stay in the race?
Go to his website to see his positions on the issues, if you haven't heard or read enough yet, and hang on a few more days for the MSNBC debate. There's enough information out there to keep you busy until then.
The past dozen debates were not debates at all - they were spectacles on who could get the most face time (and sound bites the following day). What I am looking for is a true one on one debate of the issues where they both engage each other into delving into the specifics of their sound bites. For example, what "change" are they both talking about.
Yeah, like a candidates website is an objective insight as to a candidates position. Isn't that kinda like going to the McDonalds website and figuring out who makes the best burger?
Actually, there is a debate scheduled in Austin at the University of Texas campus on Thursday the 21st.
Chill out. Anon.
Well, a campaign web site actually provides you with detailed information on both of their plans (more than you'd ever get from a debate), and the internet itself offers detailed analysis of said plans if you look for it.
If they want to debate just two more times or 200 more times, then whatever. But I find it hard to believe you'll glean anything new from it. It'll just be a time for the frontrunner to play it safe, while the challenger goes negative.
I'd rather see both of them interact with voters frankly.
