I don’t think that Bachmann has the character or experience to be president. However, that does not mean that I support the idea that the liberal MSM should choose our candidates.

My feeling too. I heard her speak at a Tea Party event a couple of years ago and liked her, but I haven’t been impressed with her since then. However, I think that if she had emerged as a serious contender by the time of the debates, she should have been given a reasonable amount of time. She was actually pretty good the other night...for the minute and a half she got to speak...
I don’t know what the viewership is on these “debates,” which are really not debates but televised group press interviews, or how important it is to the networks to carry them. Do they make any money on this? Probably not much.
The format is not a bad thing in itself, but we have to realize they are not “debates” in any way, shape or form, and figure out what would be a reasonable way for the various candidates to be able to get their messages out, be interesting and informative and not turn it into a stump speech, and fairly distribute the time.
