What I think Morrissey misses here is that CNN picked Democrat Activists that posed questions that are only of interest to Democrat Activists and the MSM (I know, I’m being redundant). These issues are only of minor interest to most Republican Primary voters. Most questions of interest to Republican primary voters are totally missed by the MSM.

I am listening to one CNN employee and he is doing a masterful job of ignoring the elephant in the room on his radio show...Glenn Beck.

For a man who can get absolutely hysterical over SOME of the democrats tactics and morals seems to be taking this absolute fraud committed by CNN quite well. I’m sure he wouldn’t lay low on this abomination because of money, could he?

Seems you must think that only Republicans can ask Republicans questions.

Actually, yes, I do. This isn't the general election, but the primaries. The important thing at this point is for Republicans to select their candidate. The questions should be those that are useful to Republicans, and not these fringe peripheral sorts of non-issues.

"gays in the military" for example is not a Republican issue. It's a liberal issue, which means that the "discussion" is just a pointless flapping of gums and a waste of time.

That said, you're right in your later post about these "debates" not meaning much in the big picture. Since the whole event is pretty much a waste of time, it doesn't really matter much.

and the group of people interviewed after the show by Campbell Brown. Waht about the lady that stood up and said if Edwards were there she would vote for him? What was SHE even doing on that show? She was so dopey. I want them to see and speak with people they dont’ know. These are all plants and we’re sick of it. Boy, for people who are supposed to be so damned intelligent they sure dont’ know what’s going on in their own back yards (when they are caught in these lies that is) It’s all a plant and shows how desperate they are. And...since when does YouTube questioners fly out to the debates.

"Yet within minutes of the debate, bloggers discovered what CNN missed -- that one prominent questioner flown to Florida by CNN worked on the campaign of a Democratic rival, and that at least three other questioners have declared support for Democratic candidates."
What a coincidence!

CNN flew all these people in and gave them microphones and allowed them to ask questions and speak their minds! And CNN with its vast resources didn't know they were Democrat operatives???

Don't you just hate it when you make a goofup like that?

"...it created yet another invaluable opportunity to expose CNN’s abject incompetence."

Uh...incompetence is not exactly the just mot...

Does anyone think for a minute that CNN would allow Republican partisans asking loaded questions at Democratic debates?

Whatever happened to Iraq? Didn’t CNN find any questioners on the central issue of the day?

for a primary or caucus debate (not a general election) it DOES matter.
Like a company interviewing a potential candidate to work for them. Would you let a competitor interview your job applicant? ....no.

Well, he used it in Florida, didn’t he? Or did just Cooper call him that? If he did, he should be charged. Anyone want to look into that?

So what! Seems you must think that only Republicans can ask Republicans questions.

Maybe CNN shouldn't have declare these as "Undecided Republican Voters".

To tell you the truth, I didn’t hear them say that—but then, again, I only half-listened to it, as there was a lot of commotion in my house at the time.

To give DNCNN a pass is the height of naivete. They knew who all these people were and most likely were told by the Clinton Chinese Mafia who to Plant.

Not completely the end of the story.

All of the candidates seemed to hold up well to the questions, with the exception of Guiliani, I guess.

Hunter not only did well against the gay general, he did so well he put a press release out thanking Hillary for the plant.

By contrast, the libs won’t debate on Fox.

However, Republicans should be prepared to answer the questions the candidates received in this debate.

Then I don't understand why Hillary shouldn't be prepared to answer questions about HER campaign financing and Hsu. After all, I'm a voter, and I haven't been satisfied with the answers I've heard from her campaign about this.

Excellent post. Thank you for making each of those points to people in a position to do something about it. We should all be doing the same in our own spheres of influence. BTW—Your analogy to the NFL was spot on.

“I was personally embarrassed for the eight men on stage who had to suppress wincing over another guitar guy serenading the field with inane witticisms.”

Thank God! I thought I was the only one. Hell, I covered my ears and went “Yah,yah,yah!” all the way through it.

Personally, I think the whole Utube concept for debates is lame.
