Will Democrats do even ONE debate with a progressive panel like Air America or Ed Schultz?

[yurbud]

Ideally, I would like to see all these candidates grilled by Amy Goodman, but her calm fact-based approach made Bill Clinton blow a gasket and Howard Dean run away. Dennis Kucinich could stand up under her questioning, and Wes Clark actually submitted to a lengthy interview without losing his cool or storming out.

I wouldn't expect Obama or Hillary to agree to Amy, but you would think they would give Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann, and Ed Schultz a shot.

What does it say about the Democratic Party when they only let the corporate shills ask the questions?

1. Ed invited them all on his show

for a one on one, uninterrupted three hours. Amy Goodman put Kucinich into the Nevada debate by having him on Democracy Now, I believe. But other than that, there has been no effort to have a liberal group sponsor a debate. Does make you wonder why.

6. most if not all have been on shows serially, but not together and often, not with tough questions

11. and Ed has had a bee in his bonnet about Hil not showing up. I do not know

her reason. Does any one?

2. Amen! Kick and Recommend! n/t

3. Excellent Point

I know many of them have appeared on AAR and other progressive radio shows but one would think that the candidates should appear at a progressive debate sponsored by AAR for instance. Wonder if AAR has ever considered it?

4. They don't have the resources to put on a debate, they only rent airtime.n/t

7. they could take breaks

5. never happen, only one ive seen with a real, not pie-in-the-sky, platform is Edwards, none of the

others have anything to debate..

[yurbud]

8. that's my thought. If they get down to the nitty gritty, there aint much nitty or much gritty

9. Air America okay, but a better venue than the Ed Schultz show.

Schultz opens his mouth alot without knowing what he is talking about.

[yurbud]

13. he is also pro-labor and covers those issues more than anyone on commercial radio

10. After Yesterday's Hardball, Hill Will NEVER

go near Ed Schultz. Doubt they'd go near Randi either since she talks about herself more than anything and since few in congress/senate will go on her show now, makes me think she's not too well liked.

Thom Hartman & Rachel Maddow would be good choices.

14. Ron Reagan on MSNBC.... that could work. n/t

12. It Says In Answering YourVery Insightful Query... That "The Dems" Are Indeed ...Corporate!

15. If any TV network would have the balls to carry it.....

A 2 hour debate with moderators Amy Goodman, Thom Hartmann, and Mike Malloy.

[yurbud]

16. one of the moderators would end up being the nominee if that debate happened
