Hillary Won't Do Fox Debate Either


The third shoe drops: Hillary's not doing the Fox News/CBC Debate either.

Clinton spokesman Blake Zeff emails, "We're going to participate in the DNC-sanctioned debates only. We've previously committed to participating in the SC and Tavis Smiley debates."

No word yet from Kucinich and Gravel, or the other campaigns, or from Fox, which could presumably do an empty podium hour and confirm to its viewers that Democrats are, in fact, the cowards it's often portrayed them as. Sounds win-win to me.

1. Good for John and Obama and Hillary! I love our candidates. I
cannot for the life of me see why CBC agreed to the debate in the first place.

3. EXCELLENT!
Hopefully, the rest will follow suit. NO DEMOCRATS SHOULD EVER APPEAR ON THAT NETWORK FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER!

4. I wonder...
How will FOX spin this?

And how will the candidates respond to that spin?

7. No surprise.. Fox IS the RNC
Why ANY dem EVER went on their "shows" is beyond comprehension to me.

They are nothing more than a freebie-24/7- infomercial for the republucan party.

10. Hillary gets no credit. She dropped out AFTER there was no one to debate.
Edited on Mon Apr-09-07 08:49 PM by David Zephyr
And she didn't critize Fox either in her statement.

Who the hell was she going to debate if Edwards and Obama weren't there.

Of course, she pulled out...but after they did.
