Clinton Agrees to CBS News Debate
No Confirmation from Obama Camp; Debate Would Be CBS' First of Campaign

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) accepted CBS News’ invitation for a debate April 27 in North Carolina, her campaign confirmed Thursday.
The network has yet to get a confirmation from Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
The Democratic contenders will meet April 16 in Philadelphia for an ABC News debate moderated by Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. It will be the 21st debate of the longest primary season on memory.
If Obama agrees to the CBS News debate, it will be the first for the network. CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric and Face the Nation’s Bob Schieffer are scheduled to moderate.
ABC News holds the record for the highest-rated debate of the record-breaking 2008 campaign, with 9.36 million viewers tuning in to the Democratic portion of back-to-back primetime debates in January days before the New Hampshire primary.

I look at a divided screen representing a divided country. One speaks for the rich and empowered who have spent the past eight years making our country ground zero of a detestation which has affected every American not living behind the entrance to a gated community...and a gated lifestyle. Mr. Obama speaks to the only America I recognize-the dedicated working people of this country, not the small percentage who reap the profits their sacrifice and suffering.

Let's hope that you're not going to censor postings simply because they state a viewpoint different from your own, like I experienced with ABC.com today with their article regarding Clinton's statement that Barack couldn't win.
I'm glad for more debates; I don't care what B.O.'s supporters may say or do concerning Hillary - it's all about whether a candidate can be elected - we're too much in the dark about B.O. Please help illuminate all of the dark corners we are as yet unaware with B.O. So many issues are just now cropping up for him, and he is as yet unvetted. STOP GIVING HIM THE KID GLOVE TREATMENT!!!
