I think this sort of debate is a step in the right direction for American politics. Involving folks without a layer between them and the candidate, although CNN chose which questions to use.

Most of the answers, Kucinichs’ excepted, were formulaic as usual, but nevertheless a great start….

I wonder how much Marshall McLuhan Jon Stewart has read. McLuhan would have loved this show.
