Clinton wants to debate Obama on issues affecting Puerto Rico
ABC News Blog ^ | 5/25/08 | Eloise Harper - ABC News

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.

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

Amen. She is irrelevant. I’m glad I am here to see it too. It’s been a long time coming and she brought it on herself. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

no point in the debate period. She’s just trying to get back again in the public eye on the same stage with Obama so she can look like she is STILL in the race. We all know better hilllereee and the sooner you do too the better it will be.
