Clinton challenges Obama to Lincoln-Douglas style debate By MIKE GLOVER and SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writers

Clinton challenges Obama to Lincoln-Douglas style debate - Yahoo! News

MARION, Ind. - Democratic rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton turned up the rhetoric Saturday in their increasingly heated primary battle as she issued a new debate challenge and he complained of a race that's largely been reduced to trivia while working families feel economic pain.

Clinton took the debate dispute to a new level, challenging Obama to face off with her in a debate without a moderator, Lincoln-Douglas style.

"Just the two of us, going for 90 minutes, asking and answering questions, we'll set whatever rules seem fair," Clinton said while campaigning in South Bend.

lol....... might work. lol

But I would love for them to share in this debate. Where questions and answers would reveal a lot more on each that all the past debates. But I fear Obama will back out.

In a debate, you can only say "hope" a certain number of times...
