[Rational Thought]

Think about it. Are we too stupid as voters to form our own opinions without audience reactions? Maybe the Luntz meter should be required on the bottom of the screen in order to tell us how to think.

Campaign rallies are where audience reactions belong.

As pointed out earlier....if you want the audience to play such a role, how would you feel about a debate between Gingrich and Obama where the audience is packed with Obama supporters?

I’m thinking that courtroom trials would be more entertaining if everyone, including the jury, got to applaud or boo witness testimony and every motion.

Well, if the audience is not allowed to react, that is how it will be. The MSM will be asking the questions, just as they are now. The liberal media will frame the questions or pick the submitted questions, as they please.

There was audience reaction just to some of the questions being asked in the course of these debates. That was a good thing. It serves to keep the media in line.
