Will Obama take Hillary's invitation to join in the Maine Town Hall on Saturday?

[Clintonista2]

1. probably not.

[wndycty]

2. Barack is not Hillary's little boy. . .

. . .she can't just order him around to help her get free media. She is desperate.

[elixir]

10. Sounds like cold feet to me. Too bad, he's such an inspiring speaker.

[wndycty]

18. So do you think its appropriate for on candidate to make up the other candidates schedule?

:kick:

[Windy]

29. Um...in the last one on one debate, she didn't do so well. Be careful what u wish for! n/t

[Barack_America]

3. As long as there are no cameras and no free advertising...

...I say go for it.

[MadBadger]

4. Wanna try one more thread saying the same thing?? 3 for me equals spam.

[elixir]

8. What are you talking about?! Just answer the question.

[MadBadger]

11. I did, in your other thread on the same topic.

[Alexander]

16. Shillbots are spamming the boards in force right now...

Whenever things look bad for Hillary, the Shillbot spammers come out of the woodwork. She should pay these folks overtime - if she has the money.

:rofl:

[durrrty libby]

32. " Shillbots"? Nah, the BO Sniffers are the shitz.

[bicentennial_baby]

5. I would imagine that he already has events scheduled

:shrug:

[peoli]

6. hes too busy bringing in new voters to the democratic party. theyve had 17 debates already

what the fuck else do the possibly have to discuss?

[elixir]

12. How he can't handle the pressure of one-on-one in front of a live audience..for starters.

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. He and Hillary have had 1 one on one debate. Nice try though.

He's afraid of Hillary.

[candice]

7. If he can think well on his feet when not scripted, he should...people want to learn more about

his policy from his own mouth (as opposed to reading text on his Web site).

[cali]

15. Hillary doesn't set his schedule

and he shouldn't change it just because she needs the free publicity and is afraid he's going to outdraw her. He obviously does fine thinking on his feet, as demonstrated by the last debate. The reviews he got were universally favorable. He's not as good a debater as Hilly, but it's fucking clear to anyone who's not a partisan hack that he does just fine.

9. Fine..... but no TV cameras...... and no PLANTS!

We all know the Hillary campaign penchant for planting questioners in the audience.

[elixir]

14. I'm certain that if the tables were turned, Hillary would attend an Obama rally. She can handle it.

[scheming daemons]

20. If she's so good at thinking on her feet, why does her campaign plant questioners in the audience...

...why not let it be TRUE random Americans?

[elixir]

30. So does Obama, and he needs a teleprompter too. Poor thing.

[John Q. Citizen]

13. Hillary's chasing after Obama is embarrasing. She seems to need his approval and his

closeness.

I think she is seeking his validation of her. Her insecurity isn't assuaged by bill, apparently, and she's seeking out his attention to prop up her self image.

I think she needs to find a good shrink instead.

[elixir]

17. He's chicken. And tell me where do find shinks, at the shink store?

[John Q. Citizen]

28. He's busy. He doesn't need her, but she sure needs him. It's a little pathetic.

By the way, thanks for the proof read. I fixed it.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. Obama is afraid of being unscripted now ...have you seen him on the plane talking?...

reminded me of someone else.

without Ted Sorensen's speeches he ain't all that JFK like.

[blogslut]

21. What? Ohio and Texas aren't enough for you?

Obama has agreed to debate her in both states. You guys are so greedy with Obama's time. Too bad.

[thetaoofterri]

22. Why not have cameras?

I, for one, would like to see him (and Hillary) answer questions from the locals... no debate... just one on one with the voters. He says he wants to spend time with voters, why not in this type of venue? It seems far more voter-friendly than a contrived CNN debate.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

25. agreed

[scheming daemons]

23. Obama has agreed to debate in Ohio and Texas.....

...that's plenty.


Anything else is just Hillary trying to get free pub.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. NO. He won't. n/t

[rox63]

26. His campaign schedule probably has him elsewhere at the time anyway

Why should he have to rearrange his campaign schedule for her? He's got an event in Bangor that day: http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/bangor

[durrrty libby]

31. He already said no. He's not good without a teleprompter
