Clinton to Obama: Let's Have A Lincoln-Douglas Style Debate

Never mind that their positions on the issues are relatively similar. She's trying
to capitalize on his weak performance in the last debate. So of course she challenges
him:

Democratic rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton
turned up the rhetoric Saturday in their increasingly heated
primary battle as she issued a new debate challenge and he
complained of a race that's largely been reduced to trivia while
working families feel economic pain.

Clinton took the debate dispute to a new level, challenging Obama
to face off with her in a debate without a moderator, Lincoln-Douglas
style.

"Just the two of us, going for 90 minutes, asking and answering
questions, we'll set whatever rules seem fair," Clinton said while
campaigning in South Bend.

Her campaign made the offer formal with a letter to the Obama
campaign. Obama aides said they were studying the letter.

Is it just me or does she play the role of the underdog extremely well?
