The Heartland Forum - something new

December 2nd, 2007 @ 2:39 pm by Ridger

Just a short post with a link to The Largest Minority, where you can watch videos from the Heartland Presidential Forum. For a change, all the candidates got equal time. No more moderator talking for more time than some of the candidates (yes, Stephanopoulos, I’m looking at you), or tossing questions at the media’s annointed big three and cutting off the others when they did get tossed a bone (yeah, Blitzer. You).

You know, I have a fantasy. In my fantasy, someone from the floor asks a question - oh, something like “What qualities will you look for in a Supreme Court nominee?” and Blitzer (or whoever) turns to the candidates and asks if they’ll use abortion as a litmus test - and the person on the floor starts shouting. “Hey! Hey, Blitzer! That’s not my question! Ask my question!”

Anyway, at this forum, they all got to address all the topics, in turn. As often happens when Dennis is allowed to talk, he scored, and scored big.

But watch it and see what you think.

It’s your election. You make the call.

  1. “As often happens when Dennis is allowed to talk, he scored, and scored big.”

    I missed the debate, did Dennis happen to mention why he thinks an anti-Semitic, virulently anti-abortion, Confederate apologist like Ron Paul would be a good Vice President?

  2. Well, no. But I would expect that it has much more to do with wooing Paul’s discontented-with-the-GOP supporters than Paul himself, since the man is not going to consider it.
