YouTube debate for GOP looking iffy.....

Some Republicans are wavering: It looks as if the Republican candidates for president may not have to answer questions from a snowman anytime soon, as their Democratic counterparts did this week.

Plans for a CNN/YouTube debate for the GOP seemed to be falling apart Thursday after front-runner Rudy Giuliani said scheduling conflicts would keep him away from the planned Sept. 17 face-off, although an aide said discussions were continuing about a possible alternate date. Formal invitations went out Thursday.

Another top Republican, Mitt Romney, has been cool to the forum's format. "I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," Romney told the Manchester Union Leader in New Hampshire.

During the Democrats' debate on Monday, a video submitted by Greg and Nathan Hamel of Minneapolis featured a snowman posing a question about climate change.

"I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," Romney told the Manchester Union Leader in New Hampshire. :puke:

The Presidency really isn't about working for THE PEOPLE of THE UNITED STATES.

Romney is Such a complete TWIT.

Paul's YouTube channel has been viewed over one million times, dwarfing efforts from competitors like John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. The Ron Paul internet boom has born everything from Belgians for Ron Paul to a reggae music video promoting Paul's views on monetary policy and habeas corpus.

At least the Dems had a sense of humor. The repugs are probably scared sh*tless to face real people, like the cancer survivor pulling off her wig and asking tough questions about health care. I'll bet if they do it after all, they'll have their "own" YouTubers and keep any genuine person OUT.

Would that make the GPOigs feel at ease?


We could have two snowmans: Blitzer and Russert.

Russert's head looks round enough that he wouldn't even have to dress up for the part.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Now that is funny.

We are talking about taking questions from ordinary people, the people who are not their base.

Sounds like they are quite full of themselves, and don't have a sense of humor either. Can't take a question from a "snowman?" Don't they realize a real person was asking the question?

But taking questions from people on the Internet is their worst nightmare. Where do you think all of the people who have gone who see the whole media, as just an extension of the Republican Party?

Oh, there it is...
