Thanks, MK.

It appears to me that most of the folks commenting here, have recognized the fundamental aspects of the argument; that is, it’s absolutely tyrannical for the media to hold the people’s public debate hostage to their own nefarious agenda.

By the way, your comparisons to the North Koreans controlling their people’s public responses, was particularly appropriate. NBC did the exact same thing last night, by not allowing applause or responses from the audience.

The left can’t win, if they can’t control every aspect of the process in one way or another. In my opinion, we saw a perfect display of that very thing last night. Newt is totally right to condemn that, and to argue for allowing free expression on the part of the public.

In the middle of the debate I turned to the lovely lady of the house and asked if this wasn't the most boring, pasty, dull debate of the lot.

She nodded affirmatively as if I just woke her up. All I remember thinking was if the audience had been allowed to be vocal, there would have been a lot of booing for both the questions and for Romney.
