Clinton Challenges Obama to Debate (1/2)



 大意
Clinton makes pressure to Obama on the campaign.


 听写
Clinton is trailing Obama in delegates and in the popular vote, and she’s been putting pressure on him to hold more debates before the May 6th primary elections in Indiana and in the southern state of North Carolina. On Saturday, Clinton called for a 90-minute debate without a moderator. “I hope we will be able to have a good old fashionedlinking Lincoln-Douglas debate right here in Indiana, so that you get seatcan see for yourself to make that the decision about who our next president should be.” The style of debating or where each side presents an argument gets its name from the 1858 debates in Illinois between US Senate candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephven Douglas. Obama’s campaign aides say they’re studying the debate request. Obama has complained that in the last debate on April 16th, the moderators focused too much on political trivia, and too little on real issues. Clinton told the a crowd in south beand Indiana Saturday, she’s focusing on the substance of the issues, while Obama is relying on style. “I’ve been very specific across Indiana and America to talk about solutions, because my campaign is about solutions, not speeches. It is about working to make the changes that we know we must have.”

C在代表选举和全民选举中都紧随O，她向O施压，以在5月6日I和南部州NC选举前举行更多辩论。星期六C呼吁举行一场90分钟的无主持辩论。“我希望我们能有一次像LD在I的辩论那样的活动，所以你能自己决定谁是下一任总统。”这种辩论形式中各方有一个议题，它源于1858年I两位美国参议员AL和SD的辩论。O的竞选助手说他们正在研究辩论要求。O抱怨4月16日的最近一次的辩论中，主持人过多注意政治细节，而不重视实际问题。C星期六告诉ISB的人们，她关心问题的实质，而O流于形式。“我在美国和I特别强调解决，因为我竞选的重点就是解决，而不是演讲。重要的是我们必须做出我们需要的改革。”


 总结
哦，又见大选~
