Hillary's Debate, Early States

hillary-observer.jpg

In this week's paper, Jason Horowitz follows Jonathan Tasini, and hears from NY1 why there probably won't be a debate between Tasini and Hillary Clinton.

"We haven't proposed a debate. We haven't prevented him from doing anything--Hillary Clinton will not do one," said Steve Paulus, the general manager of NY1 News. "The bottom line is that we are not the ones preventing him from debating--that's the incumbent."

And Steve Kornacki plays the expectation game with Hillary and thinks she can be the Democratic nominee without winning the early primaries or caucuses in 2008.

"After all, if Hillary can lower the bar enough in the early states, she could be in position to declare victory without actually winning."

One thing about Hillary--she was smart enough to stay away from Walmart. Spitzer has taken money from WalMart (which appear in his filings) and has not returned it. Voters think they know Spitzer but they don't yet.

Hillary stayed away from Wal-Mart?! What are you talking about; Hillary sat on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart for 6 years in the 1980's. Her silence now is nothing more than embarrassment.

1:46 I meant that HRC was smart enough politically to stay away now that walmart is too hot to handle. She gave her contribution back. Spitzer doesn't seem smart enough to see walmart as a problem that will burn him sooner rather than later.

Hillary isn't smart enough to debate.

No Bob, she is smart enough to know she doesnt have to.
