1. hmmm

apparently the CNN folks don't think the upcoming impeachment is a discussion for our guys n gal? it is possible the candidates didn't want any questions about impeachment, I guess. thanks for the vid! :)

2. This is not American idol

The debates should not be like American idol with YouTube views voting on the questions. The debates are important part of the political process. It made it more interesting to include questions from "real people". It's important, however, to have professionals have editorial discretion when choosing the questions so that a range of important issues are discussed.

3. Well, gee, Ryan. Using that logic, we should have "professionals" using

their "discretion" to pick our leaders.

Because JUST LIKE AMERICAN IDOL, we do vote still vote for president in this country . . .
