A blog about politics.

Just Wondering...

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.
