ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Since the Pennsylvania primary Sen. Hillary Clinton has been calling for a debate with her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama.
She continued her plea in Penuelas, Puerto Rico, standing outside a restaurant while less than 100 people gathered on a dirt walkway. Obama has rebuffed these requests and has instead begun campaigning in states that would be important for him in the general election if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
"I was informed that Univision will sponsor a debate between Sen. Obama and myself about the issues affecting Puerto Rico," Clinton said. "I accept that invitation. Anytime, anywhere. That is the best way for the people of Puerto Rico to have their questions asked and answered and for the rest of the United States to learn more about Puerto Rico."
Clinton reiterated her claim that she feels as though she has been a senator for Puerto Rico, because she represents so many of then in New York.
"I feel as though I have been your senator and now I want to be your president," she said.

Debate?
Surprised she didn’t say “I’ll take a shot at it.”
Said Obama: "Ha! I'll guarantee that I'll pardon more Puerto Rican terrorists than Bill and Hillary did."
One hundred people, she ran out of spread around money.
ROFL!
Let Hillary be the president of PR. Remember these people do not vote in our elections. They should not vote in the primaries either.
She is truly the incarnation of Monty Python’s Black Knight. Let her wallow in her descent and humiliation. ROTFL
Shades of Schadenfreude
Smart. Very smart.
Underestimate this guy at your peril.
He is running an excellent campaign, along with the MSM to make light of his own mistakes.
McCain had best do as well...
LOL
fantastic idea
self appointing again. Always about HER. Obama won’t debate her. Why should he? Only the serious candidates debate from here on in and that’s Obama and McCain.
Puerto Rico doesn’t vote in the general election. What would be the point of the debate.
The only "point" in her life is to steal the election and become The Power. Either she has devised some way for this kind of debate to help her do this; or she's just shouting, "Hail, Mary!" and throwing the ball.
That’s correct. There would be no point period. She just is trying to inject herself back into the race like she is still a player. Obama doesn’t need her. She needs face time and that’s why she wants him to debate. I hope he continues to ignore her. She’s irrelevant now.
The loser could maybe try for a musical comedy career. I can see Hillary and Obama singing “Everything’s free in America” to the music of Leonard Bernstein, or maybe “Anything you can do, I can do better; I can do anything better than you”; or “Send in the Clowns.”
