Republican ditty

The CNN debates began with Chris Nandor from Snohomish, Wash., who sang a funny song about the candidates.

"The grand old party's looking for somebody who can lead, someone who is electable and adheres to our creed. / Some say the group is not diverse; they're white, they're men, but wait. The Dems have just one candidate, Republicans have eight.

Rudy's leading all the polls, but can he win the base? / Mitt changed on abortion; history he can't erase. / Ron Paul would end the FDA and that is just a start. / Fred has just begun to run, but sure does look the part. / Hunter tells us what to do in foreign policy debates. / Huckabee's compassionate and lost a lot of weight. / Tancredo says let's build a fence across the whole Southwest. / McCain is loved by many and hated by the rest.

We don't know who we're voting for; we don't know who will win. That's why we use YouTube to ask our questions of these men. / Time is short, we're voting soon, and I just thought I'd mention. If we don't reach consensus, then we'll decide at convention."

Romney is the worst candidate in the field.

So who won?

That opener was probably the weakest part of the entire event.
I don;t know that there is a winner or loser; somebody may do more or less well, but most of these guys have been around the block enough to not make any really egreghious errors.

[Dumb and dumber]

This was just a dumb way to open up a serious debate. What a waste of time. I loved all the fake smiles of the candidates as the camera panned to them and their name was mentioned in this ridiculous opening. Please quit insulting our intelligence.
