10. I'm referring to impeachment (or lack thereof)
I'm not blaming the Democrats for failure to get us out of Iraq (YET).

2. If gives the "average" person a chance
to ask questions instead of the media with questions that are same old same old. :shrug:

4. I think the problem is not the idea or the format
The problem is that you have the corporate media filtering questions. They ought to have done it by VOTES.

6. thought it was wonderful
and yes, they filtered the questions but the questions were genuine and they couldn't filter the questioners or their thoughts. i'm impressed.

sorry you can't be satisfied with anything in this world.

8. No. It's not great.
"Great" is only reached when every candidate is given equal time on every question.

Taking questions from the general public is the first step to "great," though. Most questions were good.

11. Nice ideas, but the primaries are mostly meaningless
No point in backing a candidate until 2008. Its not like primary votes really mean shit. I've never even been able to vote in one.

12. For a first-time experiment, it was pretty good
but there were too many questions, necessitating the usual abbreviated soundbite answers. And there was way too big an imbalance in the amount of time different candidates got to speak at all.
