Video of Hillary STILL waffling on Cleveland debate LIVE on NBC affiliate TODAY

Tim Russo - Posted on 12 February 2008

This is the picture of a campaign self-destructing. The video is positively cringe-making.

Hillary was on live on WKYC today, the Cleveland NBC affiliate, bobbing and weaving on the Cleveland State debate on Feb. 26. By my count, she agreed to a debate in Ohio 9 full days ago - the David Shuster pimpfest has been going on almost a week, and she is STILL playing some kind of weird victim game with the premier political reporter in Cleveland TV, Tom Beres. Beres literally begs her at the end to commit to the debate. She doesn't.

For a candidate who raised the biggest "debate me" stink I've seen in years after Super Tuesday, this is truly some of the most petulant behavior you can imagine from someone running for president. It has now become a self-parody. What an embarrassment. Here's the vid.

It was...

PIMP MY POST

Pimp your post, Russo. lol Obama doesn't want to debate anyway - we all know he's not got the traction when he has to come off the platitudes and one-liners and start talking specifics. So, what's the problem? You are getting what your guy needs - no serious fact talk, please - and yet you beat up on Hillary Clinton because she told MSNBC to stick it up their butts.

If you weren't so set on going negative on me

You would have seen this news three hours earlier. lol Ditto to Eric. Since Redhorse isn't razzing me in as nasty and deliberate a way, I'll leave him out but he too could have been on this news earlier. Sigh.

ya got me

I went to bed early last night and didn't play on the internets. After I posted, I noticed the entire Ohio 'sphere was already on it...

Obama refuses to debate

Submitted by Toadscum on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 1:26pm.

Its' been in the news repeatedly that Obama refuses to debate in Wisconsin, and refused her offer to debate weekly. So, why this inane and insipid blog? Honestly, the world of Obama supporters have become so anti-Clinton that they notice ONLY her faults and not his. It is too cult-like. So much for solidarity in the democratic party.

thanks for screwing Cleveland, Hillary!

So because one guy who works in the network made a dumb comment, she is willing to screw Cleveland out of the opportunity to host this debate?

This is supposed to be a big deal, we can watch 2 historic candidates debate yet one of the historic candidates is going to cite such a petty and trivial reason to cancel?

Is this what we should expect if Hillary gets the nomination and squeaks by McCain in the general election?

So when she's president we had all better watch what we say?!

Hillary, it doesn't matter what David Shuster said in the grand scheme of things. Do you really want us to believe that you are that trifling?

Obama's illegal activity in Iowa Caucus

Submitted by Toadscum on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 2:06pm.

Apparently, right before the Iowa caucus, Obama's camp bussed Illinois residents to vote in Iowa. Although not necessarily illegal in Iowa, it does raise concerns about his morality, ambition, and integrity. Senator Biden asked that candidates not do this, as a collective gentleman's agmt. However, Obama ignored the request and did it anyhow. According to this news article, he admitted to it: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3940909&page=1. His camp claims it is legal. According to the article, it is an act that is completely unprecedented in Iowa's caucus history.

Did you read the article?

Obama's campaign denied busing students. They simply encouraged students from Illinois that were already going to school in Iowa to exercise their rights. Smart and legal.

Don't worry she will be there
