Hillary Clinton and her surrogates are constantly pushing for more debates with Barack Obama before the Indiana and North Carolina primaries.  Her latest push has been to offer taking him on with a Lincoln vs. Douglas type of debate, just the two of them with no commentators.

We need a reality check here. 

First off, there have already been 21 debates between the Democrats running for office.  That’s more than in any other time in the Democratic Primary history.

Secondly, perhaps Hillary Clinton would help herself better by talking to voters one on one about what she plans on doing for them instead of spending so much time trying pushing for a new debate.

We’ve seen at least 5 days worth of stories where Hillary’s made arguments for having another debate.  It’s a well known fact that ‘losers’ push for debates, winners put limits to the amount and type of debates that happen. 

Hillary Clinton by her own admission every day, by pushing for more debates, is admitting that she is ‘losing' the Democratic nomination’.

One thing is clear from the start.  Hillary is a pro when it comes to debating.  She was a champion at it during her debating years in college.  Being a good debater doesn’t make you a good candidate for the Presidency of the United States however. 

Talking to the voters, giving them what they need to hear to make clear decisions, and not what they want to hear, and helping them help themselves -- is what makes a good president.

Hillary’s only chance of winning is by somehow tripping Barack Obama up during another debate. 

Obama and voters aren’t stupid.  They know that’s her ultimate goal.  Hillary – do yourself and voters a favor.  Tell us what you plan on doing for us if you win this nomination instead of spending hours of trying to produce, yet another sporting event on television.
