Clinton Camp Ups Ante -- Why More Debates?
Typically the candidate who is behind wants more debates. They provide opportunity to change the trajectory of campaigns, potentially a quick momentum stopper. Of course campaigns may just want "to educate voters" but a strategy calling for more and more debates is an unusual choice for the "front runner."
The Clinton campaign this afternoon--Super Tuesday--called for a debate a week for the remainder of the primary season. Do they know something about results the rest of the pundits are awaiting to see?
In close races if one candidate accepts a debate their opponent is unable to decline joining in. The press pressure would exact a political price. Also network pressure can force joining in. Curious that the Clinton campaign now wants debate on FOX. [Just in: Netroots criticize Clinton for debating on Fox]
