Both Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama said they would not participate in a presidential debate sponsored by Fox News Channel, throwing the event in jeopardy. The two senators joined former Sen. John Edwards, who announced on Friday he would not participate in the debate, one of four being held by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute.
The Congressional Black Caucus contracted with Fox to co-sponsor two of its debates -- one Democratic and one Republican -- and gave the two others to CNN.
But now the top three Democrats in the race have said they will not participate in the Democratic debate co-sponsored by Fox, which was scheduled for Sept. 23 at the Fox Theater in Detroit.
A spokesman for Obama, who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, told ABC News he would decline, saying "CNN seems to be a more appropriate host."

hmmm. And I was so wishing someone would ask Ms Clinton that, if elected, would she allow First Lady Bubba to sit in on Cabinet meetings....
Remember when some dem-rats said: “you can prosecute him (Bubba) after he leaves office!”
I’m still waiting for the perjury/onstruction charges to be filed.
When is that going to happen?
Justice delayed is.......
dihad...control. Do not question the great and powerful OZ.
Bumper Sticker needed:
If the Democrats can’t talk to FOX -
how will they talk to our enemies?
If they are so afraid of FOX how will they react to Al Qaeda?
Right on the money, Jake. RIght on the money. This removes all pretense on their part of looking for a level playing field. ALL YOU SULKERS, REMEMBER THIS WHEN NOVEMBER, ‘08 ROLLS AROUND. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE SUPPORTING WITH YOUR NON-VOTES.
Well said.
YOu’re right! Ain’t NOTHING empty about that pantsuit, is there!!! (Snicker, snicker!)
Your idea - go to www.legalzoom.com - get a copyright - and go produce them.
You might be onto something.
Obama is what we used to call High yellow. That used to refer to his being a Mulatto. Now it seems to refer to his courage,or rather lack of it.
Hillary’s excuse is of course that she cannot answer questions that havent been approved and given the green light by her “advisor’s”.
“Both of these people really dont want any debates.”
Double-Dog Dittos to that! They don’t want to be exposed for what they really are.
Losing in Iraq is NOT an Option and that is the only debatable question on the table other than illegal immigration. The rest is rhetoric that is asked every day by every politician over and over again, year in and year out for decades and never ever really doing anything about it.
Fund the troops without the pork Politicians!
My sentiments exactly. Someone offering themselves as leader of the free world should be able to face up to a tough question from a debate moderator for God’s sake.
Too funny, God forbid any news station doesn’t parrot the Democrat party line 24/7.
So much for “diversity”.

As usual, great FReeper replies.

That’s easy. They will lie to our enemies just like pelosi did on her mid east.
If this is the way things are now, while they’re yet trying to entice voter support, imagine what it will be like if/when one of these people is ensconced in office, no longer in need of votes? No thought process other than liberalism will be tolerated or even acknowledged. Basically they’ve openly stated their plans for an exclusionary presidency.
Hillary Clinton is a coward. I'll debate on Fox anytime.
