That does pose an interesting question.
I believe the answer is the candidates are going to have to suck it up, put their chips in red or black, and sit for in-depth and probative interviews of policy and positions with the “NEW Media”, and exactly the personalities they fear most, i.e., Savage, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity, etc.

They need and fear at the same time these venues, and if they (serious candidates such as Obama and Clinton are going to have to show that there is something inside the suit or pantsuit, and be on the record for a change.

Same thing goes for the right or alleged to be right candidates.
Issues such as Immigration, Border Security Defense, Abortion, and fiscal policy, those same issues that is needed to be addressed by the left, NEEDS to be addressed and the position anchors need to be manacled to the legs of Romney, of Giuiliani and of Thompson; the only viable right side candidates.

On five or six consecutive Monday nights in prime time Brit Hume needs to sit with a candidate (drawn by lots) for one hour at a table and discusse in-depth, the positions and beliefs of a particular candidate. No handlers. No prompters. No bullshit! No spin!!! The interview becomes the touchstone and benchmark of the particular candidate and all else is spin.
No Chris Mathews spitballs. No Larry King Softballs, a la favorites color or what do you like on a hot dog. Just as Sgt.Joe Friday would say,.."Just the facts Mam. Just the facts!"

Great idea, we need more than the bogus debate beaty contest routines, the New Media needs a platform to smoke out the real positions on the major issues!
