the moderation style. When cuccinelli starts mouthing off and interrupting and not letting Granderson say his piece, I woulda held my hand out and yelled - "HEY! LET HIM TALK!" And if cuccinelli kept breaking in, I'd have his mic turned off.

Segami, I totally agree with you! I wish we'd have more of this. I wish we had a thousand more Dannel Malloys - the Democratic governor of Connecticut, who REFUSED to allow bobby jindal to have the last word, criticizing President Obama after the President had hosted them all at the White House. Malloy even said he just kinda butted in, physically. Really didn't wait much, to step up to the mic and edge jindal out of place, and TAKE OVER. And clearly and loudly CORRECT THE RECORD.

We need MORE of this. We need emboldened Democrats to step up. Step over. And if need be, step ON whichever republi-CON is blathering and trying to monopolize the microphone or grandstand and showboat for future campaign positioning. MORE. It should be the Eleventh Democratic Commandment: NEVER let the bad guys get the last word!!!!
