YouTube/CNN debate roundup

Brad Linder · Jul 24, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Early today I had planned to write a thoughtful response to the first ever “user-generated” presidential debate. But then I got all busy and stuff and didn’t find the time.

So here’s my two cents: The questions were excellent, well thought-out, and asked in an unusual, personal way that should have prompted the candidates to respond more candidly than they usually do. They didn’t. For the most part, they gave prepared answers. And you wouldn’t expect them to shoot from the hip. There’s too much at stake. But at least try to sound like people and not robots.
