Obama to join Clinton for Univision 'forum'

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Monday he'd participate in the Sept. 9 Univisión ''forum'' to be held at the University of Miami.

Hillary Clinton, who was to be a no-show, changed her mind last week and decided to appear. But Univisión has started calling what it formerly dubbed a debate a ''forum'' so Clinton could stick by her statement that she'd only participate in six debates.

The Univisión forum will be different from others in that it will be conducted in Spanish with instant English translations. Democratic candidates Bill Richardson and Chris Dodd, who both speak Spanish, were the first candidates to accept. John Edwards has yet to decide.

Based on past performance, I think Gov. Richardson may get this question:

¿usted tienen gusto de la gente española?

And I think his answer will be:

En absoluto

That's it, why not get cozzy with folks who think illegal immigration should be a new event for the upcoming Olympics.

Go Obama, go Hillary Toast...

Mirthala: esl el campasino importante?

Obama: si. si.

I might actually watch this one if they let one of those Univision newsbabes moderate.

Then again if they do Hillary might be so distracted that Obama could turn his flagging campaign around.
