Hate to be cynical, but the debates on both sides are more negative than positive. They each wait to see who's going to screw up worse, while avoiding direct answers to questions. Some should get an Emmy for their talents at repeating worthless rhetoric.

It seems that some parties and their candidates purposely stay away from live interviews in certain areas. Still remember seeing Edwards snub Jaco. I know they're all very busy with scheduling, but get tired of hearing that they just can't fit us in. If we were in a primary state, or on the coast, you can bet they'd stop long enough for a photo-op!

I usually don't get into national politics.
But OBAMA is running for the Vice Presidency.
He and his handlers know he can't beat Her.
But She also knows that having him on the ticket will bring in lots of African Americans into the voting booth.

Commentary on Clinton Obama ticket.

Its over people, we will start our slide into Socialism. it will pickup the needed momentum with their election. they will have 8 years to destroy this great nation. Their slogan will be "Cradle to Grave because we can feel your pain"

It is also possible that he is keeping his best for later, when it really counts. His plan could be for the others to talk themselves out of contention then he will come on strong. Since things started so early this time people will be tired of the fighting and rhetoric way before the elections even get close. It all depends on what he can do in the month before the Democratic Convention. That`s where he needs to shine and do his interviews.

Pardon me, I seen lady and Though!!!
but Betsey been around along time and she knows whats going on!!!

Newslady said "Why should he only answer questions from network reporters ? St. Louis isn't the only town where his staff keeps the local media at bay. It happened in Columbus, Ohio this morning."

Simple answer the news cast would be seen by to many of his Constituents live and unedited.
no time to prescreen the question....

Weird,

I don't know. Now seems like to the time. I mean, Iowa's only something like 60+ days away. It seems like he might want to close that lead Clinton has on him. I mean, if he doesn't win the primaries, what he does before the convention isn't going to matter, unless Hillary wants to choose him as her running mate.

I tried to get in touch with Obama when we were having all of the Ameren problems, I sent e-mails to Obama and several congressmen from Illinois. I got responses from all except Obama. I also sent e-mails to Obama and other congressmen about the problem with the insurance company - and again I got responses from all except Obama. When Chicago had Ameren problems - Obama is giving his smooth talk about what should be done - that told me he does not know anything south of Chicago is still Illinois. He has done nothing for the southern part of the state of Illinois. He did find my address to request a donation from me to support his political position - guess what he got. He flip flops when talking as he says what he thinks the group of people he is talking to want to hear. I will vote for the first candidate that can show me they have two feet to stand on, a back bone without the yellow streak, can talk for themselves and will take a stand for something. It won't be Obama.
