First Republican Debate for President 2008


Chris Matthews is the moderator for the first Republican debate. Frankly I must have had my head in the sand for I did not know a debate occurred. Oh well.

This was a Republican debate right? What idiot had Chris Matthews moderate the questions to potential Presidential candidates?

From
Urban Elephants I understand nearly all the questions were asked to make all the candidates look bad instead of debating issues of interest for Republicans to choose their candidate. What is that?

At the next Democratic Party debate Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin should moderate and formulate the questions. How do you think the Left would react to that?

The
San Jose Mercury News extrapolates a theme; however makes zero mention of Chris Matthews as moderator. MercuryNews.com reports the theme of the debate as harking back to the ideals of President Reagan and almost no mention of President Bush.

Outside the Beltway gives a pretty good round up of the debate.

Notably Newt Gingrich (announced running) and Fred Thompson (unannounced running) were not participating in the Republican debate. That was a pity since personally I have the highest interest in those two for the nomination.
