If you are watching the debate on TV, you can only see part of the audience. The audience you see “semi-circling” the moderator and the candidates’ chairs are the “independents” selected by Gallup to ask questions. Behind them and mostly off camera are the guests of the two candidates, or as Candy Crowley called them, “The Cheap Seats.”
Those selected by Gallup are all from the NY area, which leads to two important questions.
- How did they find a non-liberal (undecided) voter in the NY area?
- Why is this “town hall” debate in NY…which is guaranteed to go to President Obama? Wouldn’t it be better to hold it in a state like “Ohio,” a key swing state for both parties?
I counted 5 reasonably independent questions, and 4 extreme left-wing questions.
I am in shock how we are in the mecca of Judaism, yet no pressing questions on how we are letting Israel be threatened to be wiped off the face of the earth. Romney referenced, but there was no in depth analysis.
“[W]ouldn’t it be better to hold it in a state like “Ohio” a key swing state for both parties?”
Duh. Yes.
But that would make too much sense.
I’m thinking the gun control was a big loser for Obama….. but it could just be me?
You didn’t read CNN’s Rules of Engagement.
“Uncommitted Voter” means “I don’t know whether oppose Romney because I really hate Republicans at the gut level, or whether I will oppose him just to keep my cushy tax-payer funded benefits and entitlements as long as I can.”
