Hillary's Wisconsin Ad slamming Obama to do another debate was just fucking embarrasing.

How many debates had these two been involved in anyway? 10? 30?

Besides, a candidate begging openly for a debate is a sign of pure electoral weakness.

You oldtimers remember McGovern in 1972, who dogged Nixon about a debate. Nixon was always so high up in the polls, he told McGovern to eat it.

Well, he did in November.
