What more can we expect from a 15 yr old my space kid?
Was the whole audience too young to even vote?
What else should we expect from a bunch of corrupt morons who can’t even act like presidential candidates? Politics really does attract the lowest of the lowlifes.
But at the last second a producer told Luisa that Yucca had already been discussed and instructed her to ask her pearls-diamonds question."
Here is the excerpt from the Marc Ambinder article:
"Every single question asked during the debate by the audience had to be approved by CNN," Luisa writes. "I was asked to submit questions including "lighthearted/fun" questions. I submitted more than five questions on issues important to me. I did a policy memo on Yucca Mountain a year ago and was the finalist for the Truman Scholarship. For sure, I thought I would get to ask the Yucca question that was APPROVED by CNN days in advance."
In a separate post, Luisa provides the question she wanted to ask:
"Yucca Mountain, NV is the proposed site for the country's nuclear waste repository. Despite scientific evidence that it is a vulnerable site, the federal government continues to push for the plan to move forward. The evidence relied on is unsound and the risks involved in transporting high-level radioactive waste across the country are high. What will you [Sen. Clinton] do to ensure that the best site/s is/are chosen for the storage of spent nuclear reactor fuel?"
Sam Feist, the executive producer of the debate, said that the student was asked to choose another question because the candidates had already spent about ten minutes discussing Yucca Mountain.
