The official explanation: “time constraints and logistical issues.” The unofficial explanation: Team Barry didn’t want to give her a reason to stay in the race if she flames out tomorrow, which makes zero sense. If Indiana and North Carolina aren’t enough to make her soldier on to May 6th, the prospect of another debate won’t either.
The real/obvious explanation: He can’t afford another beating. Your quote of the day, from the same hypocrites who knocked ABC for not giving them a chance to hear the two sound off on “substantive” issues: “No more debates!” I wonder, are the creme de la nutroots creme who signed this letter also cool with this last debate being canceled? How else are we going to reclaim the opportunity denied us by ABC to learn about their policy proposals, aside from visiting their websites or googling the transcripts of their previous 21 debates? And before you ask, yes, Katie is heartbroken.
Update: Michael Moore says he’s not so much pro-Obama as pro-Obamites. The more they whine, the more the precise opposite is true for me.

:'( Waaaaaaaaaah... Hot links at orig link... I think this need some additional confirmation.
1) if this was a dupe post, I apologize.. I didn't see it.
2) Obummer can't take the heat. He is out of his league when debating Hillary or McCain.
I agree, but..........we can't forget the media's 'hand' in all of this. They can set you up AND take you out! I'm enjoying it between these two, believe me.. One of the most annoying unknowns it seems, is the HUGE number of younger voters engaged in the 'process' that has made it more difficult to pull off charade. Remember during the GOP 'debates'... the softball ?'s asked of the frontrunners, the face time, the answer time etc???? When RP didn't stand up for himself, he was weak.. if he had of, would he have been a whiner?? So... to me... the media 'hand' is on display here.. and maybe Obama sees this now that the wind switched directions a bit. Could've been the 'bitter' comments or Clinton pressure but it certainly WASN'T journalists gone wild.
I'm not making excuses, for anyone.. I'm just suggesting that we recognize the SHOW for what it is.
What a statesman does, is IGNORE THE QUESTION and SPEAK DIRECT TO THE PEOPLE. Use every nit of time to bypass the machine.. JMHO...

Oh, absolutely. That's my point: Somehow the Clinton Machine got their old buddy George S to moderate the debate and pound Obummer for an hour straight. Set up like a bowling pin...

Smack! Out of the ballpark on that one!! First hour was pretty brutal from any of the dem debates I've watched.
Bowling pin!!
So funny today some political guy characterized the PA primary as: Booze, Bullets and Bowling!!! Hillary pulled off the 'girl from Scranton' act, and Obama, could not connect. Another said, they thought that there would be a 'polka-dot' effect in PA......? They mentioned that many city types had moved in and kept their same voting habits, and as such, the old reliable cities, might be overcome by the 'newbergs'? Weird comment.. maybe some PA people can clue us in.
The consensus was that PA was WAY more important than OH in the general election, because OH was a 'swing' state... and that PA was a MUST HAVE state to have any chance to win.
