					<description>even i do not agree with CNN cherry picking questions and you have presented a very valid point..mere asking questions to the candidates does not mean people have any influence over what goes on in DC..politicians  are still in control

overall the debate was way below the mark, candidates repeated same old rhetoric(except few here and there..thanks to Mike Gravel..) see:http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/527398/US?c_id=wom-bc-bg

					<description>How much is 'Theirs" and how much is ours?  This is, afterall, our problem. Give the 'boys' a break, and let's take the hit. 'They' get way too much credit as it is.  JP - you sound tense. You need to come down to California and 'surf' a little :) Do I smell an upcoming Gn symposium in Sonoma??? You can chair the workshop on "Vapid Internet Farcocracy."</description>
