Senator Clinton is challenging--already!--Senator Obama to more debates.
And note especially:
"If further evidence were needed that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton does not expect to sweep up tonight, she is now challenging Sen. Barack Obama to a debate a week going forward, her advisers said as voters were at the polls on Super Tuesday...Among the debates Clinton would like to participate in is one on Fox -- which Democrats have previously shunned, accusing the network of being slanted -- as her campaign tries to build momentum heading toward the Ohio and Texas primaries on March 4. The Fox debate is scheduled for Feb. 11. Senior Clinton strategist Mark Penn described the debates as "critically important."
1] The Clinton people must be worried about how they will do tonight. If you're a front-runner and expecting to win, you don't challenge your opponent to debates. 2] Remember when the Democrats pledged they wouldn't debate on the supposedly pro-conservative Fox network?
When you're behind, all those principles suddenly go out the window. Look for Obama to do well tonight.
