Ignorance is Bliss

What we really need are blog debates. The canidates are given the questions, and given a week to answer. All the answers are posted at the same time. Then it gets interesting, because each of the canidates ( as well as the rest of the blogosphere ) can fisk each other’s responses. The other advantage is that when responses are written it becomes much harder for the canidates to avoid answering. They can’t just run out the clock and changing the topic becomes much more noticeable. Canidates would also be encouraged to link to supporting facts and figures giving them no excuse for being vague.
