And you are correct!
This isn’t a Town Hall debate.
The first Presidential Town Hall debate was held in 1992 and they simply walked through the audience and selected people to ask questions. They simply tried to mix up the demographics, ie: diversity. It was judged a rousing success.
Fast forward 20 years and it’s for Candy Crowley and CNN to cull the questions. So some dolt can then parrot their preselected question. Oh yah, then Candy Crowley reserves the right to reframe the question and formulate prefabricated follow up questions to the preselected questions.
Where is the big talk from the direct democracy crowd? => Nowhere, they are drooling for CNN’s crap sandwich.
I betcha the timeline of Gallup being investigated by DOJ and called on the carpet by Axelrod lines up with when they were chosen to select the “undecided voters”.
So the questioners are not just willfully ignorant, they are militantly so. Anyone who has no opinion on this election is the type that will ask a question and then wait for the post-debate analysis to determine if the answer he got was a good one.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
It's funny watching the expressions on people's faces if the subject turns to politics. They look at me like I have two heads and six eyes or something. I suppose that given my long hair, I would 'appear' to be a liberal "hippy"(I HATE hippies, BTW) type, and they quickly learn that isn't the case at all. lol
As usual unfair.
“The moron debate.
Pandering to the moron vote.”
Do you want those morons to vote for Romney or Obama?
Guess!
I read that Candy (what a name!) has demanded to see the questions in advance. Wanna bet that BHO also will know what they are?
Of the 100, only a select few will be chosen to ask questions by debate moderator Candy Crowley.

Can’t be repeated enough. The MSM bail out Obama plan marches forward.
That would be a heck of an opportunity.
“I am not your father. The government is not your mother. Sit down, shut up, and get a life, you loser.”
That would cinch it for Romney right there.
It's been my experience that the people on juries are, by design, too stupid to have the deductive powers of an average prepubescent. Lawyers on both sides of the aisle want jurors they can manipulate with emotion and not common sense.
I have to believe the same is true of the "undecided." Despite the plethora of cold, hard information available on both candidates, these bone heads of the electorate cannot YET form an opinion as to who would better lead the nation for the next four years?
So, what will gel the decision in these minds of pudding? The guy who seems aggressive? The guy with the best zinger? Maybe the guy who delivers a snappy comeback, regardless of its veracity? Just like the jurors in our court system, the moderates will succumb to the lawyer who most appeals to them in the concluding remarks, facts to the contrary be dammed.
I suppose - for the sake of it increasing Romney’s odds historically/statistically - we should be glad there are undecided voters.
But the truth is, such creatures seem a puzzling waste of God’s creative abilities.
The Northeast US is an entirely different country that us in the flyover states. We need our guns and pickups while people from Nassau county worry about their Amtrack service and their kids soccer games.
If these undecided saw the movie I just watched on Net Flicks “Dreams from my Real father”which tells of his real father not the one he was named after..Frank Marshall Davis the Communist that his mother slept with...
The undecideds must be composed of various bubble boys and cloistered nuns.
and will they have to be selected to reflect the nation’s population - race, gender, age, etc. ????
PC??
Well, no wonder why you never get to hear a question like "Why does the federal government think it needs to solve all of society's issues at the cost of my liberty?"
Show me a sample, qualifying respondent and I'll show you someone who's never read Levin's Liberty and Tyranny.
First Question:
“So, Mr. President, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s calling 47% of the electorate a bunch of low-class, whining, lazy, dependent slackers?”
