I’ve perused several leftie sites for their reactions, and without exception the response is "so what, it is the question not the questioner, that is important." Aside from the certainty that were the tables turned, not only the leftosphere but the MSM as well, would be outraged, there is an underlying issue that lefties completely ignore.
There is nothing wrong with the questions... if you are a democrat. The specific issues raised by the questions are important... if you are a democrat. All these questions will be pertinent to a democrat... in the general election. There is nothing wrong with the questions; it is the wrong time for democrats to be asking them of republican primary candidates.
Further, and even more damning, is that even taking CNN at their word, that they chose these questions reveals much about their mindset. CNN thinks a question asked by a committed Clinton/Obama/Edwards supporter is representitive of the undecided voter. The only way one could come to that conclusion, is if one is also and already, a committed Clinton/Obama/Edwards supporter.
What is astounding is not the left fawning over the king’s new cloak, but to what extents they go to beat up the boys who merely see a butt naked autocrat. |

There’s nothing wrong with the questions at all......in the general election debate.
This was a GOP debate, GOP voters should’ve been able to ask THEIR questions.
But don’t bother to waste your breath pointing out the irony of Edwards and Olbermann. Just revel in the fact that for all their bluster, they are still self-marginalized. |

If Olbermann and Edwards are not the perfect match for a folie a deux, then the concept is meaningless. |

Democrats avoid taking Republican questions and Republicans avoid taking Democrat questions. Other than that obviousness, what have we demonstrated? Do Republicans somehow come out looking more moral than Democrats here because they demand that people be fired for letting Democrats ask them questions, rather than just opting out of Republican questions entirely? |

Other than that obviousness, what have we demonstrated? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and in this case we amply demonstrated that both Olberman and Edwards just don’t get irony and end up looking pretty foolish. |

"The Edwards campaign said Friday that it would not attend the Sept. 23 debate sponsored by Fox News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. Officials said Mr. Edwards would participate in a debate sponsored by the institute and CNN.
’’We believe there’s just no reason for Democrats to give Fox a platform to advance the right-wing agenda while pretending they’re objective,’’ said Jonathan Prince, the Edwards deputy campaign manager. "
