Unlike Jeralyn, who thought it was the best debate, I strongly disliked the CNN/ You Tube Debate mostly because it was a particularly silly exercise where attention seeking gimmicks like snowman, costumes and singing were the order of the day. Moreover, the actual questions were, a t best, badly phrased routine questions we have heard a million times. Can you believe there were no questions on the Supreme Court? But what really annoyed me was the conceit that CNN's slections represented some type of consensus view of "what the people wanted to talk about."

I am opposed to impeachment of the President for the many reasons I have explained here, but it would be silly of me to argue that there is not a strong contingent of Americans, particularly Democrats, who do want the President impeached. Susie Madrak points to a question that was soberly presented and did speak to an issue ignored by the Media that is very much on the minds of Democratic voters.

For the You Tube debate to have lived up to its billing, questions like that one should have been presented. CNN's conceit about this awful debate is badly misplaced.
