Julia Dahl at Salon is reporting that as popular as the Democratic YouTube debate was among the young, Republican Presidential candidates are, well, not so sure:
The Washington Post reports this morning that so far, only Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, have agreed to appear at the next CNN/YouTube debate scheduled for Sept. 17 in St. Petersburg, Fla. Mitt Romney told the Manchester Union Leader on Wednesday, “I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman.”
I’d be happy if Republicans acknowledged that the President should answer questions from anyone, but that’s another issue.
I know the youth vote is trending seriously Democratic these days, but do the Republicans really want to write it off?
That was, by the way, a rhetorical question.
I live in Southern California, grew up in New York and Minneapolis, and have family scattered in three countries. I am a liberal, and woe be to anyone who says that with any sort of moronic disclaimer (i.e. “I’m a liberal but I’m not crazy” or “I’m a liberal but I still believe terrorism is bad”). I’m a liberal, OK? No apologies. However, I do think, when I hear the word uttered by some people, of Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
