Democrats Get Nothing But Planted Questions

Maybe I'm naive, but my jaw about hit the floor when I watched this piece on HotAir.com (hat tip: Michelle Malkin) about the most recent Democratic presidential debate, hosted by CNN's Wolf Blitzer. It seems they took many questions from the audience, people purporting to be "undecided" voters, and these people turned out to be liberal activists out to further their own agenda. Far from undecided. The most amazing one was by Barack Obama, who appeared to know his questioner even though they had never met?


It turns out that CNN televised little more than a Republican bash-fest, not a debate. All the questions were based on liberal talking points while the viewing audience was told these were "undecided" voters who had visited (i.e. been vetted) for several minutes with CNN's floor correspondent (who spells her name "Suzanne" yet apparently pronounces it "Sue-zAHn". What's up with that?)

So either the activists lied about who they were, which taints the Dem party, or Suzanne did a pathetic job of vetting these people beforehand, in which case CNN is either biased or incompetent.

To me the big question is, will voters really be stupid enough next Fall to actually elect one of these fools to the presidency? Will the GOP allow this kind of nonsense to go on during the general election unchallenged?
