Yeah, that's what we need, more rehearsed, one liner jokes in the presidential debates..Given the mood of the country right now, turning the debates into comedy central is just brilliant GOP strategy. It appears they learned nothing in the past election.
Fact is the only people I saw laughing at any of this were the audience of GOP elites and the MSM.
At least Huckabee got mentioned in the next day's news. Right now, Duncan Hunter's answers are getting him ignored by everybody besides the relative few of us in the blogosphere.
I'd rather see Hunter call Rudy a philanderer, McCain a tired old man who doesn't believe in free speech, and Mitt the member of a weird religion. But since he's not going to do those things, he needs to do SOMETHING to move from the back of the pack. Just standing there answering questions seriously is not going to get him campaign contributions, name familiarity, or when the primaries start, votes. He has only the early debates to make himself known, at some point, those running the debates are going to say "front tier, only" and he's going to be shut out of the only forum to make a name for himself.
