Debate: Stephanopolous Gets Ideas From Hannity

Hello from the site of tonight's ABC Debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. We're having a gorgeous day here today in Philly and I wandered around the site of the debate - the National Constitution Center - a little before I came in.


Clinton supporters are out in droves across the street. There were only two lone Obama supporters trying to get the attention of the cars and Ride the Ducks vehicles among the din of Hillary screamers. I'll check later if the Obama people got off their butts and got out here.


For some pre-debate coverage, my friend Paddy pointed me to a story at Daily Kos about George Stephanopolous' pre-debate prep. Apparently he was on Sean Hannity's radio program yesterday and Sean wants some questions answered!


When Hannity asked about the first question below about Ayers and whether George had plans to ask such a question, George replied, "Well, I'm taking notes now Sean." It did actually sound like he was pausing to take notes. And Hannity continued to feed him more:


1.Ask Obama about his relationship with Ayers and WeatherUnderground and Axelrod's comments, "They're friendly"


2.Ask Obama why he attended the Million Man March


So you Ayers afficianados out there may get your wish! These televised debates this cycle have broken all kinds of records and you may just get to hear your favorite question asked and answered in front of a huge television audience. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! :-)
