"New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is challenging him for the Democratic presidential nomination, campaigned Friday morning in Jacksonville, N.C., and continued to pressure Obama for a debate before the May 6 primaries there and in Indiana."

I just read these when I logged on my computer this morning. ENOUGH ALREADY!Can we PLEASE stop the debates NOW! We have seen enough of them! If there is anything else people WANT to know about a candidate's position, they need to GO to rallys, research online, go to places in their areas.
MOST of the "debate" requests from this point on, I believe, are merely attempts to HOPE for a gotcha moment. And I am sick of the exploitation of those.
INSTEAD---
How about somebody debating with HRC about the sealing of HER Wellesley college thesis, since they have dogged Michelle Obama about hers? Debate with her about why Wellesley HID her thesis during the "Clinton Whitehouse Years"?
Ask HRC why it was that Barbara Olson died in the 9-1-1 attacks?
Under Wellesley's rule, Clinton's thesis became available to researchers again when the Clintons left the White House in 2001 — available only to those who visit the Wellesley archives. But few have made the trip, and the document's allure continued to grow.
A purloined copy was offered for sale on eBay in 2001, then withdrawn when Clinton's staff cited copyright law.
Bill O'Reilly waved a few pages on Fox TV in 2003, chiding Wellesley for hiding Clinton's analysis of a "far left" activist.
Peggy Noonan, the former Reagan speechwriter writing in The Wall Street Journal in 2005, decried the continued suppression of "the Rosetta Stone of Hillary studies."
Just last month, an anonymous commentator lamented on the conservative Web site Free Republic, "She's a Marxist. Saul Alinsky's student. I sure wish we could unearth that sealed thesis of hers that she wrote at Wellesley."

Hillary Clinton may have a little-known Achilles' heel as she runs for president in 2008 — a thesis she wrote as a 21-year-old senior at Wellesley College in 1969.
The research paper examined the work of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, whom she called "a man of exceptional charm."
One indication of the Clintons' sensitivity about the thesis is that they had it locked away from public view for the eight years of Bill Clinton's presidency.
The Clintons asked Wellesley in 1993 to hide Hillary's senior thesis, and Wellesley's president approved a rule that made any senior thesis of a graduate available in the women-only college's archives for anyone to read — except for those written by either a president or first lady, MSNBC reporter Bill Dedman disclosed.
MAYBE we need to see what Hillary the presidential candidate really thinks from 40 years ago since it was so important for the candidate's wife from 20 years ago.
And that is my $.02.

Now for something completely different...
The wait appears over as the National Archives said it will make available tomorrow documents related to Hillary's time in the White House. CNN reports:
The documents are among those the Obama campaign has long said need to be made public in order to fully evaluate the New York senator's experience and tenure while First Lady. In a statement Tuesday, the Archives said the documents are from the files of Patti Solis Doyle, the director of Clinton's scheduling while she was first lady, and later the manager of her presidential campaign. Doyle stepped down from managing the campaign earlier this year after a string of poor showings in primary contests. “Arranged chronologically, these records document in detail the activities of the First Lady, including meetings, trips, speaking engagements and social activities for the eight years of the Clinton Administration,†the statement said.
