Reporter on CNN: "Hillary proposed one debate a week, and the entire nation
recoiled in horror, thankfully Senator Obama declined. I've seen 18, I've heard all I need to hear, know all I need to know."

7. I'd love one debate a week if it were a real debate and if each debate
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 04:29 PM by Bread and Circus
was topical...

2 hour debate
foreign policy
each candidate grilled in detail about their record, positions, and their advisors/team.

Let's have it out:

First question:

Senator Clinton, in 2006 you voted against a ban on cluster bombs in civilian areas. These bombs maim, dismember, and kill thousands of children worldwide. 100 countries are on board to ban such a practice. Most democrats voted for that ban, including Senator Obama. Why did you vote against that ban?

------------------------

Yeah, let's have some real debates, please.

2. Yeah but we only had a real one on one debate once
the primary continues and we need more one on one debates between Clinton and Obama to debate their strengths and contrast. We also need to see how the two are handing the Primary this far in. If the Primary continues more one on one debates is healthy.

3. He means all the journalists recoiled in horror.
The horror of covering boring issues, instead of dross.

4. I thought there were only seventeen. Am I wrong, or did the reporter see a Super Secret Debate?
