Where's the debate?

Posted: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 9:26 PM by Rob Merrill

From NBC's Chuck Todd
Huckabee just became the second candidate to "hat tip" his opponent, John McCain. Rudy Giuliani was the first to agree with something McCain said. Not looking like a debate with all this agreement...

Candidates speak passionately about fiscal and personal responsibility. When will someone ask about the healthcare and pensions enjoyed by even one-term representatives and senators? Are candidates willing to address these substantial entitlements?

Psst..Chuck..Its FOX. They are allowing applause. It's not really a debate. This is a clever way around the equal time rules. They get some great DEM bashing sound bites (complete with applause). They will also have some wonderful footage of mutual admiration. It'll come in handy for who ever draws VP. You guys are covering a partisan publicity shoot. But don't get me wrong, you're doing a damn fine job of it. Seriously, I enjoy you and Mark and this new way of experiencing political news. Thanks
