GOP Contenders Face YouTube Debate

AP:

Republican presidential candidates faced a crowd of unusual debate questioners Wednesday night -- everyday people who sent in video clips.

CNN and YouTube sponsored the debate, the Republicans' eighth major confrontation of the 2008 campaign

People from across the country submitted more than 3,500 videos posing questions; about 40 were to be broadcast in the unusual gathering six weeks before voting begins.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani leads in national polls but trails former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in early-voting Iowa and New Hampshire. Romney faces challenges from former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in Iowa, and from Giuliani and Arizona Sen. John McCain in New Hampshire. Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and other lesser-knowns also are participating in the debate.

Just watching debate makes you feel that you’re in the twilight zone.

So Judy/Rudy and Freddie are wearing the same ties? How crass!

I can't believe these clowns are serious. Listen to the stuff that comes out of their slimy holes. McCain just said isolationism like the type Ron Paul is advocating, caused WWII. Huh? Then he said the troops told him at Thanksgiving they want to "win." Win what? I don't get how they don't get called on some of this crap.

CNN is appalling--Cooper finally asked Rudy about us paying for his trips to cheat on his wife and then lets it just drop after Rudy lies.

CNN never was good, but they've been absolutely embarrassing lately.

I will second that.

Worst Debate Ever!

They have to do something about the crowd.

McCain slandered Ron Paul and smiled. He said anyone who opposes the war hates the troops and Ron Paul is a friend of Adolph Hitler.

McCain wants a job so he is getting rid of Paul for Rudy.
