“Spare me all of this brouhaha about yet another debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, whose policy positions don’t amount to a dime’s worth of difference. What Democrat wants to see more of two strong candidates further sullying each other’s candidacy? Only Republicans would want to see more of it. Instead, what about a Clinton-John McCain debate and a separate Obama-McCain debate? The remaining Democratic primary voters would be the recipients of a ’sneak preview,’ seeing how each aspiring Democratic nominee fares against the Republican in the November election. Clinton and Obama would be less likely to pummel each other, more likely to illuminate the differences between each of them and McCain, and the voters would be better able to make informed decisions about who should be the Democratic nominee.” (04/30/08)
