Its CNN… what do you expect? Fox News has done a better job with the candidates. Even in 2004 when the Democrats were on it, it was very well rounded with a good set of questions. Its a shame they aren’t doing it this time around. Honestly I’ve been watching C-Span once in a while which host the candidate meet and greets— very entertaining.

Daniel what are your thoughts on the recent Gallup poll? Seems like its been Huckabee and Romney? Not sure how McCain is holding up… but he was a favorite in the cheese state for a while. And Obama has some traction again?

Daniel i agree with you that cnn/anderson cooper need to learn how to stucture and guide a debate. yet it is also worth noting that all the networks and all the moderators need some big lessons is that area. in my opinion wolf blitzer should never get to moderate any debate ever again. i think romney did one of the poorer jobs, he was lacking the “umph” he usually has and seemed uncomfertable up on stage.
i think the mccain/paul back and forth was very interesting and has the ability to become a central issue/battle in the primary, and with paul’s answer on not running 3rd party he might win over a section that was previously against him, no one can ignore the amount of money he’s raising, he won’t win the nomination of course, but has is to be taken much more seriously than hunter and tancredo and i would make the case to be taken as seriously as mccain.
thomson really needed to do well and he was just average i won’t be suprised to see his poll numbers continue to slide.
i was most impressed with guliani and huckabee, i think they had their game faces and as much as probibly none of them wanted to be there, they decided to make the best of it and go for a win.
biggest problem, besides the clinton plant – it was nice for andersonn to apologize after the fact but to me it was an obvoius plant they hoped not to be caught in and they were, was the audience. i convined a few politicallly apathetic ppl to watch and all the audience reaction did was confuse them.

I really wish we could all get along and you supposedly small gov conservatives would start rooting for the only guy who has a clue. Is Iraq really so important to you that its worth draining the treasury over? I think that if you guys would just take a step back and stop being emotional about things you would see that Paul is a perfectly viable candidate who, although he wouldn’t be able to implement most of what he wants, could finally turn this country back in the right direction.

I mean you can’t seriously claim to support low taxes and small government and support anyone else at this point, can you?

Overheard in Youtube… quoute from the CNN Republican Debate by McCain…

I was listening to the CNN Republican Debate and got a very nice idea of what I could expect of US not going to win the government next year. Even though I support Ron Paul I found out he is still too weak and in a couple years he will be in the top o…

They believe in every word in the bible… but “Thou Shalt Not Kill” apparently means nothing to them.
