12. I was just going to say that that was THE surprise of the debate for me!
It did NOT surprise me that Wolf Blitzer and the rest of the corporate media droids decided to move on to another question after Biden's answer there and not have anyone follow up on it.
I'd also heard Bill Richardson bring it up in a radio interview himself at one point too on Air America. But the problem is the media is NOT asking this question!
We need to make a universal commitment here on DU that the FIRST question that we try to get asked given the chance in any debate forum is what the candidates would do to drive putting in place Public Campaign Financing!
That to me is THE question I want to get solved soon after the 2008 election! The sooner the newer rules are in place too, the sooner that the various pols on Capitol Hill will start realizing that they have to play by them too and hopefully turn away the briberies of K-Street (at least some of them).
