Ya know, they could at least TRY to give everyone equal time.

And for the Democratic debate (http://chrisdodd.com/node/1377)

Having fewer candidates seems to help, but come on.

Yeah. Chris Dodd.

Y'know, one of the FUCKING CANDIDATES.

Man alive, if you didn't have something petty and prissy to say, you'd be silent for a fucking moment, you know that?

As for what the stats show, it's pretty interesting to see that the current round of "high profile" candidates on both parties get the most airtime. Is it because they're naturally charismatic and longwinded (and thus it's their individual fault), or is it because the new networks see these cats as marketable, and structure the debate so as to promote the high profile candidates (and thus it's the network's doing)?

That's what I'd like to know. Since we're still 9 months away from the first primary races, however, I refuse to watch any debate. I will not partake in any bullshit two-year long campaign trail. It wastes far too much money.

Sorry, but I have never heard of Chris Dodd. We can't all be as smart and learned as you, ya know.

"smart and learned" don't come from reading the OP of a thread before commenting in it.

But, they sure as hell don't come from not reading the OP and commenting anyway.

Since I hadn't heard of Chris Dodd, I figured he was some dopey blogger. Now that I know he's actually one of the candidates, I still don't give a rats ass, because if he wants equal time, maybe he should run for Junior High class president and participate in their debate instead, where Little Johnny and Little Chris both get equal time. Of course, he's got zero chance of doing anything, so of course he's gonna bitch.

America spends more on pudding then it does on the presidental election.

Is pudding more important then who is elected as the next leader of the United States?

[mykevermin]

Cite your source.

And, yes, pudding is awesome. Better than all sorts of "raise your hand if you don't believe in evolution" posturing.

Anyone who says no is a communist.

I think I've figured out your real life identity - Bill Cosby!
