Why am I not surprised at this. Hillary is a coward and Obama is just not experienced enough and is too much into himself.

But just saying no always did take guts.

This makes me sick--the media not only boosting Hillary, but now, making it easier for her not to debate. IOW, deliberately sabotaging a democratic process.

Despicable.

No surprise that Hillary may want to skip the early ones.

She wants to avoid potentially devastating early blunders.

She wants to cement her lead. Then, she can be more influential in getting softball questions and stack the deck regarding potentional questioners.

[Hey, Newt. Take notice. You wanted to see Hillary in a dozen or so debates. She ain't gonna! She ain't that stupid, Newt.]

If the two front runner collude to avoid debating they run the risk of energizing number three. That would be Edwards at this point. Do you see one and two giving three an edge? Tricky ground to negotiate. Don't you think?

"Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may just say no"

Both said "What the hell do I say if they ask a legitimate question that isn't one I have had my staff prepare? I only go on MSM shows when I provide what questions can be asked (all softballs), and if I ever have to address a REAL issue, I'll crap my pants!"

The Shrieker can only hurt herself when she opens her mouth. The only way she can gain any ground is by sitting royally by and acting as though she doesn't need to say anything.

Maybe we can convince Al Sharpton to debate Dennis Kucinich again.

But guess what? Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has accepted any debate or forum invitations as of yet.

Not one, huh??

Well they can't hide forever

It's not that unusal for big names to sit out the early debates..... I think Bush sat out a few in 1999 before entering the NH debate in Dec. Of course sitting out two earlier debates in NH most likely lead to his shellacking by McCain in the Primary 49-31.

Hillary will opt to send pre-recorded DVDs and pod-casts.

Litmus Test for Totalitarians:

THEY REFUSE TO DEBATE!

Hillary for example only goes before totally fake staged media events.

I still say they're working together. She needs the black vote if she has any chance of winning .. so Obama as a VP would be the perfect ticket (she thinks).

And .. since Soros is funding them both .. I believe they're really working together.

I think the outing of the possible "muslim" connection for Obama was on purpose .. just to get it out there and conveniently dismissed by the media. Looks like it worked.

While some are going to peg this as
thumbing your nose at the crowd (who
probably paid big bucks for the event),
one could suggest the two Front Runners
are astute enough to sit on their haunches
and wait to see just what issues the
moderators are fielding the also-rans.
Prepped answers gleaned by paid flunkies
sprinkled among the cheering nonentities
is a decent modus operandi! Why get caught
flat-mouthed when a little spade work and
advanced mirrorspeak will polish your sub-
sequent performance? C'mon, you know her
well enough by now to realize Hillary's
not going to do ANYTHING without a plan
in mind. The REAL question is, which group,
Obama or Clinton, thought of it first!

Sound as if they don't want to collide with one another over policy. Sound too PC from both of them....no cut throat competition.....
