The CNN announcement doesn’t speak of ‘jointly made decisions’ between itself and the TPE about the debate. Hope they don’t dominate on things like choosing the ‘moderator’ and/or panel of (biased, snarky) journalists.

That is what it would be like without the TPX involved.

They don't enter into something on this level without knowing what they are getting into.

Concerning your tagline, Syncro: If the Tea Party is all about the money issues as TPX says it is, and if you say Sarah Palin is the "unofficial Tea Party candidate," surely you can give me a few links to some of her advocacy on behalf of cutting spending, programs, and agencies from the federal behemoth.

I've asked a number of Palin supporters to explain to me how she can be the "Tea Party candidate" without such credentials, and asked for links to her support for cutting back government, and so far they have not provided me even a single link to a single program or agency that she has ever advocated getting rid of. Not one. It's all very strange.

You have more faith than I .. and I hope you are right.

(where is CNN going to find non-biased, non-snarky journalists?)
