Debates: CNN Shows Dems From Behind

CNN placed cameras behind the candidates tonight, and NBC's Chuck Todd says it resulted in a bad camera angle for Hillary Clinton:

"It showed her standing on a platform. I'm sure her campaign is NOT happy with CNN with that camera shot."

CNN's Political Ticker says Dennis Kucinich was standing on a wooden platform too.

1. why didn't the whores report what Bush did in the debates against KErry

how he wanted different length podiums so it made it seem either he was equal or taller than Kerry.

he wore platform shoes also.

2. And he was wearing a contraption under his clothes

that seemed to indicate he had a wire in his ear and was being fed his answers. Amazing how that was quickly buried.

6. Bush was also wired... but that only got superficial coverage...

3. I guess that they can't be President then!

Too short! :sarcasm:

4. That is just silly.Everyonr knows they are short! Platforms make height less distracting.

5. Short people got no reason to live...just kidding...I'm 5'11"

so I guess I'll never be President either... :)

People do vote for tall people for President, at least since the television was invented (although I don't know if that applies to women or not...)

By the tall person standard, Obama (or Kucinich's wife) has the best chance of winning...

7. So what?

Hillary's not a tall woman. BFD!

It's better than having them peer over the tops of the podiums. This is a non-story in my opinion.
