Before the dogfight…
(L-R) US Democratic presidential candidates Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and former Senator John Edwards (D-NC) pose before the CNN/Congressional Black Caucus Institute Democratic Party presidential debate. (Yahoo)
Let’s hope that this CNN Debate is not the fiasco like the last one.
The last CNN Democratic Debate was a Clinton Reunion:
** The audience was planted in her favor
** The questions were planted in her favor
** The questioners were her supporters
** The after debate spin room included 2 former staff members and 1 current campaign analyst
The candidates are already giving away the (Animal) farm.
