My fellow Ohio Blogger Brain Shavings compiled the questions together.
Despite the derision about a talking snowman asking questions, the Democratic YouTube debate was surprisingly good, both in entertainment value and in getting to the real candidates. The entertainment value is important because it means people, especially the non-political, will tune in and actually listen to what the candidates are saying.
And after some question as to whether any GOP candidates would support it, the debate is back on, and set for Nov. 28, so we'll have to wait awhile to get the answers to some of these questions. I'm looking forward to Fred Thompson answering The Shadow.

2. The correct answer to the Shadow is "nothing". How much people make is not a federal issue. I guess if you want to force a "policy" answer, it is to encourage the economy by reducing the size of the federal government so that taxes can be reduced.

3. And the Bush administration has "reduced" the size of government, Joel?
Bush has increased the size of government - the Medicare prescription drug bill, department of homeland security, just to name a few.
What is so conservative about this administration, except on social issues. You cannot say they are fiscal conservatives.

5. What an idiotic idea to have a youtube debate?The CNN is belittling the important of Presidential debates and the worth of candidates to the voters.What is their aim and purpose for having such debate like this,does it serve any purpose I don't think so but one thing is clear the CNN is trying to find a spot to play a gotcha dirty political game that it will never do them any favor.It only improve and help the GOP candidates and their arguments of many issues.
