Obama loses Pennsylvania, declines another debate with Clinton
Predictably, Obama lost the Pennsylvania primary. But we already knew he would. While the win infuses Clinton’s redlining campaign with much needed cash, it does nothing for her chances overall. She still has no hope of beating Barack Obama in August unless there is foul play involved.
Obama’s camp realizes that and has decided not to play footsies with Clinton anymore. Obama turned down an offer from CBS to debate Clinton on Sunday after “60 Minutes.” Clinton sorely needs this debate to push forward her hateful agenda, but Obama doesn’t need it. The Democratic nomination is already in the bag.
Obama spokesman Dan Leistikow said this of Clinton’s chances of debating Obama: “Their attacks indicate they are really not looking for a debate, but any forum to continue their negative, throw-the-kitchen-sink campaign.” (Source)

I guess she has soo much pride that she can’t let it sly.I commend her for that, but I’m about to dig a hole because this debate gone on long enough.And did anybody catch when Hilary said she was “John McCain and herself are friends.” Hmm.Oh well.Hilary only needed this so she can stay in the race, but she really doesn’t have the money to keep on trucking.
I agree he shouldn’t debate her..for what? All the nitpicking and mudslinging is getting old and it’s giving her more of a negative outlook than anything else..she needs to just throw in the twoel and stop making a spectacle out of herself..the desperation is obvious..every time she opens her mouth she shows why she doesn’t need to be in the whitehouse
I told ya snooty gurh…her and her lil campaign coach was showing out on tv last night cause of the win, but when they finally put the camera on Obama, it was a done deal. Indiana was already rooting for ol’ boy…all i say was red necks and white tattoed hands and arms waving in the crowd. He is going to win for sure.
I don’t blame him. That last debate was totally ridiculous. How on earth can anyone justify it taking 45 minutes for the moderators to ask a question concerning the issues? It’s turning into a circus.
There has been some interesting articles on the number of Republicans who voted Democratic yesterday and then took paperwork to switch back to Republican right after
She really is on hateful B***h running a very hateful campaign. It surprises me that these so called political analysts on CNN keep saying that she’s kool and Barack is the one who’s trippin….a freaking mazing!
*one*
Hillary has begun to run a campaign that is dishonorable and I am glad tha BArak declined the debate. He doesn’t need to even go through the motions at this point. All other sttes who ahven’t voted can review the issues, statements that have been made and make an educated guess from there. If you ask me barak may already have the nomination unless they do some cheating … which I hoipe they don’t. he has proven he is the better candidate in all of hsi actions. I think Hillary should go back on to being a Senator … she doesn’t even deserve to be on a ticket as a VP for him.
I’m so sick of Hillary…she’ splitting the democratic party and she needs to get out. If she was smart she would bow out and since Obama is a smart guy he’ll pick her up for the vice president ticket. The Clintons have showed their azz during this campaign and it’s not a good look for them.
it’s the gov’t they are going to do what they want to do. that’s why hillary won! even though obama has the popular vote by far…they are going to give her the nomination and pick mccain. you watch & see.
~~~~it’s just my opinion….so bloggers don’t debate me on this pls..(lol)~~~~
Hilary does not have a chance over Obama!!!!!
Obama really is the bigger man here. and i’m so proud of him. i pray he wins wins wins! Sandra i want to use this one on my blog today. u do a great job of keeping us up to date with this presidential race…thanks.
h0tsauce you are so right about the dem part being split …. I keep wondering how long she is going to drag this out?
hilary is DEVILISH! she will go at any rate to sleep in the white house bed again! she’ll suck off some superdelegates to get there!
I really do not like Clinton,She uses everything she can to bring himdown i mean i would love to have a black president. What good example is she trying to set,besides her husband getting some head from Monica Lewinsky LOL,That all she’s known for,she has been talking about health care benifits since Bill Clinton was in office,and we never recived that,I jus dont like da ****!
DEBATE??? 4 WHAT??
Weve heard the SAME answers for the past 4 months! Gimme a EFFIN break!
Can we just get on with the election already!!
WHO IS THE ONLY BLACK MAN THAT CAN BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF A WHITE WOMAN AND NOT GO TO JAIL?…………
OBAMA!!!! ****ES!!!!
NOW ROCK THE VOTE!!!!! OBAMA ‘08
Good move for them. The Obama campain needs to worry about the White Democrats & Independents who are most likely going to vote for McCain if “a black man” wins the Democratic nomination. Hillary won NY, NJ & CT easily over Obama…dude needs to come up with a plan….we can NOT have anymore of this corporate pandering only to stick it to the little people. Bush already said he would veto any attempt by Democrats to remove tax breaks for the rich (and getting richer) oil companies. How can supposedly intelligent people NOT see what is going on? Are all those people on TV complaining about gas prices Democrats?
…have no Repbulicans lost their homes? Had their health care (and finances) go out the window? These things are only happening to Democrats?
I like Obama and I am so tired of him saying OK we can debate. Hillary is a seasoned politician. Obama lets her get under his skin. Obama is more passionate about the general public. Hillary knows what to say and how to say it when they have a debate. She knows how to chew him up and twist his words. I know he is a great father and husband, I know this because of what vibe he sends out. Hillary only wants to debate because she is good at it and needs not only “brownie points” but delegate votes.
Now she wants to include Flordia and Michigan, both states did not have a primary and she is losing in the race right now and wants to now go back and include the above states. I say bring it on. It just means 2 more states you will lose.
As a registered Republican, I’m enjoying it. Go ahead, beat each other up. It just makes it that much easier for my party in November. McCain in ‘08!!
