Debates With a New Twist

Sen. Obama has made it pretty clear -- no more debates! It seems he's done debating Sen. Clinton. He's done being in a situation where he has to answer questions about some of his personal decisions. He's done with debates that don't address important issues of the day until 45 minutes into a debate. Sen. Obama is done.

But what if there were no moderators? What if the two candidates could simply talk about important issues of the day, and how they propose to solve the myriad of problems being left behind by George W. Bush? What if each of them could speak for say, two or three minutes, and then the other one would talk. Now that sounds like a good idea. I only wish I'd thought of it myself! ha

Sen. Barack Obama says he's done debating, but he's facing a double team effort to force him into another one-on-one session with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The New York Senator again challenged him to a debate in Indiana, but with a new twist: no moderators.

"Just the two of us going for 90 minutes asking and answering questions," Clinton said to a crowd of several thousand at a rally held at a minor-league baseball stadium here. "We'll set whatever rules seem fair."

Gee, Sen. Clinton really does offer solutions!
