I like to poke fun
Because, well, I just want to poke fun at Andre right now, here's some interesting things to note ...
- Despite posting spin on polling numbers, bragging about Georgia's involvement in town hall meeting, touting rising momentum for Clinton in Georgia and talking up her time at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, Andre goes on to say 'geez guys, it ain't like we actually tried here.'
- Let's concoct a false scenario and say Barack Obama doesn't like to debate, despite the fact that he's debated Clinton 18 times since 2007 and has repeatedly said he's open to a few more debates, just not one a week - including one on Fox News even though all the Democratic candidates pledged to not debate on that network. At this point in the campaign, I'd much rather see the candidates go interact with the voters than hold more debates where they both spout off 30-second talking points we've all already heard.

JMac,
The Clinton campaign spin that I posted came from the Clinton campaign itself.
I'll be more than happy to forward you the e-mail sent by the Clinton press office at 7:24p.m., Tuesday, February 5th.
I'm just giving you a hard time my good man. No need.
You'd much better see interaction with people rather than a debate with each other where they just give 30 second soundbytes, but this is a false dilemma. I'd rather get hit in the head with a tennis racket than with a baseball bat, but why do I have to make that choice at all?
How about... a debate where they give more than 30 second soundbytes. How about a debate where they speak for several minutes, maybe explain in a principled way where their opponent's position goes wrong and show forth their own alternative, etc. Yeah yeah, it will never happen because the media thinks we're idiots. They may be right about that, I dunno any more...
