Another day, another bizarre position by the Obama campaign. The Obama campaign has been calling for more issues and less distractions for some time now. From CNN, to CBS News, to Fox News, Obama and his supporters have been decrying "distractions" like Rev. Wright and insisting that they want a campaign that focuses on the issues that matter to voters and where the candidates stand on them.
It's funny then, when asked to debate his lone competitor, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama brushes it off: "We’re not going to have debates between now and Indiana," he told Fox News. I don't know about anyone else, but what better way is there to see candidates in action than in a debate? It would be great to go to town hall meetings, go to speeches, meet them in person, but that's impossible unless you live in North Carolina or Indiana, and even then, very few of those people will actually get a chance to hear the candidates speak in person.
If it's issues we want, debates are a great way to air differences on policy positions. It's too bad the 9 remaining states/territories still waiting to vote won't get this chance.
