Barack Obama agreed this afternoon to debate Hillary Clinton in Ohio before the state’s March 4 primary, and he is dispatching the man who managed his successful Iowa campaign to lead the Buckeye State campaign.
CNN has proposed a Feb. 27 face-off, but Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said no date or location has been determined.
Even though Obama has agreed to the debate, his focus will be “traveling around the state and listening to Ohioans’ concerns about the economy, outsourcing and the mortgage crisis,” said LaBolt, press secretary for the successful 2006 Senate campaign of Sherrod Brown.
