I think we should do the debates like american idol. Start out with 12 on each side, have 11 debates for each side and eliminate the weakest link every other week.

Then let the final two slug it out in a best of five debate grand finale before the election.

 

More people would certainly watch. And vote.

 

That's, umm, kind of the way it works now.

 

Tancredo, McCain...

 

Mike Huckaby ducks when asked if he agrees humans cause global warming.

Also, add Duncan Hunter to the bomb Iran clan. Actually, he seems to be leading the parade.

 

All (except for Guiliani): It will be a great day when Roe v. wade repealed.

Guiliani says it will be "ok" to repeal Roe v. Wade, but okay if a "strict constructionist" judge decides to uphold Roe's precedent.

Giuliani (tonight), "I don't" support public funding for abortion, not anymore. "I hate abortion, I would encourage someone not to take that option... but ultimately I would respect a woman's right to make a different choice."

UPDATE
Federally funded embryonic stem cell reseach? Only McCain and Giuliani say yes.

 

McCain seems to be doing well. Strong. Measured. Attacking the President's 'mismanagement.'

Let's see if he keeps it up.

 

Who's the idiot who said employers should be able to fire homosexuals on moral grounds?

 

Dammit, I was only half listening... Did McCain just say we have to "dispose of" 12 million illegal aliens in our country now?


Congressional intervention in Shiavo was a mistake?

Yes, it was a mistake
Romney
McCain
Giuliani

No, it was the right thing to do
Brownback
Tancredo

This thing is boring and insulting to me as an American. Lots of laughs, jokes and yukking it up all around. Chris Matthews is poor as a moderator, too.

 

is jerry falwell moderating?
