Speaking of ex-Gov. Palin, Romney’s final debate answer last night was kind of Palin-esque:
[Link: archives.cnn.com…]
[Embedded content]John King didn’t really whimper, I added that in (:P), but he may as well have with how quickly he folded. Romney completely ignored the question, didn’t even bother with a segue, and just began reciting his memorized closing remarks, King called him on it and Romney completely blew him off.
Moderators should not be straight men. I thought that King fucked up the same way he did when Newt went after him. To be honest, moderators can’t be in fear for their career or reputation. They need to be college professors from Europe or some place other than the US. Perhaps then we could get an actual debate where participants were penalized for failing to address the question, or were at the very least called out, stopped, and ignored for the remainder.
