Just Wondering…

By Joe Klein | @JoeKleinTIME | July 24, 2007 | +

This item about the President’s YouTube allergy started me thinking….

Given the generally irreverent and, well, liberal tone of the questions last night–and the general skew of the YouTube audience leeward, do you think it’s possible that some of the Republican candidates are having second thoughts about participating in their version of the CNN/YouTube debate on September 17?

And might there be an Ailes gremlin whispering to the candidates: The Dems stiffed us at Fox. You can stiff CNN.

Hoping I’m wrong about this. I just can’t wait to see the Republicans in this format.

The Fact Checking Fun House: Crossroads GPS vs. Team Obama

Have you seen the latest Crossroads GPS fact check of the Obama Campaign fact check of a Crossroads GPS ad that relies on a fact check by Politifact, but fails to point out that Politifact called the same ad “mostly false”?

No? Well, then. You have come to the right place. Though we must caution: If you continue reading this post, you do so at significant risk your own faith in the American Democratic process.
