Clinton Sees Bad Times Ahead

The Huffington Post and the Associated Press report that Hillary Clinton is “undecided” about whether to accept an invitation to a North Carolina CBS debate on April 19, three days before Pennsylvania and 17 days before North Carolina’s primary is held. After attacking Barack Obama prior to Wisconsin for not accepting enough debates, does this hint that the Clinton camp is unsure if they will continue after Pennsylvanians go to the polls? To avoid possible embarrassment, will Clinton decline? All of these signs are very telling of “wariness of defeat” within the Clinton campaign, and politicians are jumping ship or just avoiding it all together before the rocking sinks it. Ann Sanner of the AP writes:

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said Monday that the campaign has not made a decision about the CBS debate and is still working through the details.”I am quite confident that there will be additional debates and that we will work with networks and the Obama campaign to figure out the appropriate location and venue and media outlet,” Wolfson told reporters on a conference call.
