MSM brings Clinton-Obama debate flamewar to an end


Rats, because I’d really hoped it would be me who had an answer first (I e-mailed the only person I had a remote contact with related to the Obama campaign, but I haven’t heard back yet).

Hattip to this comment by David Potts, made in the midst of a blogging battle, that led us to this audio and blog post by the Plain Dealer’s Mark Naymik.

Barack Obama said he will debate Hillary Clinton in Ohio before the March 4 primary.

“I think we said we will do two more debates, and at least one of them will be in Ohio,” he told Plain Dealer editors and reporters Thursday afternoon during a phone interview. “I’m not sure exactly what communications have been going on between my staff and Sen. Clinton’s.”

See? We do need each other – the Dayton Daily News did not have Obama on the record, the blogs ruminated around interpretations of that article and then, leave it to the old guard to get an answer from the horse’s mouth (is this why we call it a horserace?).

Of course, I still had visions of it being me, but, oh well. Thanks, Mark.
