Clinton Decides To Attend WMUR Debate

My how that schedule cleared up.

The DNC refuses to sanction a 6/3 debate in New Hampshire with CNN and WMUR, and one Clinton aide told us last week that, without said sanction, there'd be "no way" she's attend.

Minds changed, apparently.

The Hillary Clinton campaign today accepted an invitation to participate in the June 3 Democratic candidates' debate in Manchester, NH sponsored by WMUR-TV, The New Hampshire Union Leader, and CNN.

"The WMUR/Union Leader debate is an important part of the New Hampshire Primary tradition, and Senator Clinton is excited to participate," said Clinton spokesperson Mo Elleithee. "She looks forward to this opportunity to continue her conversation with Granite Staters and demonstrate why she is the candidate most ready to lead and deliver the change we need.

Hillary was smart to agree to this debate – based on her well received performance in the first debate last week. She looked very poised and presidential, unlike Obama who looked uncomfortable and out of his element.
