Very stupid move. She obviously thinks it's in the bag, and it very well might be. But did you listen to the crowd? Do you think they'll vote for her if it does come down to her? She's killing herself with moves like this. I mean, so what, it's just another 2 hour debate. AND she went back on her word.

I see this as a big mistake. I'm guessing she hasn't seen the recent polls.
