Pajamas Media: GOP YouTube Debate: No Snowman, But a Question Planted by Hillary
For the future, I’d like to propose what I call the Algonquin Round Table Debate. No moderator, no stopwatches, no buzzers or red lights, no YouTube, and, please, no Anderson Cooper or Chris Matthews. Instead, put all the candidates around a big table, ply them with first-rate food and liquor, and just let them talk and argue with one another until—or beyond—last call. Now that, for Democrats or Republicans, would be an event worth watching.
I’d certainly watch. But Stephen - no political naif - knows that it’s not gonna happen. The candidates’ own staffs would strangle the notion it its cradle. Too many opportunities for the sort of candidacy-destroying blurt that staffs are hired to prevent.
Just as DocOb’s idea of a panel of hostile (or at least opposition) questioners is not going to fly either, and for the same reasons.
