CNN's Anderson Cooper quipped in a recent interview with Townhall's Mary Katharine Ham that "campaign operatives are people too," justifying political hacks posing questions at debate forums.

I guess irrelevant, gay dilitentes must be “people” as well — at least in CNN’s bizarre little universe.

To date, Republican "leaders" have given control over the public debate to the political directors of the networks. That's a fact.

I've complained plenty over the arbitrary exclusion of my candidate, Dr. Alan Keyes. After all, he is polling ahead of three of the candidates who were on the stage last night in Florida: Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo.

But, in some sense, I'm glad he wasn't part of this particular charade. Maybe it was the grace of God.

Alan Keyes will be in the Des Moines Register Iowa Presidential Debate on December 12. I'm told it will be covered live nationally by Fox, CNN and C-SPAN.

When the contestant on Twenty One had been given the questions in advance of the gameshow, it was a huge scandal.

Man, weegee, that's great. That's the best point I've heard so far. And the game-show fix was a private matter, within a private corporation. The CNN plant was done as part of a national federal election campaign for the highest office in the land.

Well Andy claims he also wants to get married & have children someday on another link. However he doesn’t say if it is a female he wants to marry. I think Anderson & Keith Olbermann would make a nice couple.

"I've complained plenty over the arbitrary exclusion of my candidate, Dr. Alan Keyes."

Keyes is a man to admire but as a black with a great intellect who has left the liberal plantation he wouldn't/doesn't get fair treatment from the media either.
Liberals would vote for Osama Bin Laden or Hitler before they would vote for a black conservative.

Sure seems that way.
