As mentioned earlier the CNN team sems t have only cared about the main three candidates. Lok at the answer they give to who was the best at a variety of things on the stage. IN almost every aspect it seems that coicidentially the main three candidates are the best at everything.

CNN didnt seem to even notice the far superior candidates on the stage upstaging the dim-witted McCain, the “off night” Romney or the “same old same old” Rudy.

Huckabee, Paul and Duncan Hunter were far superior speakers and far more knowledgable but CNN doesnt evn speak about their superior performances.

Over and over the CNN team just keeps saying “McCain, Romney, Rudy” like a bunch of “mainstream media” parrots.

How did the candidates rate at the Republican debate on June 5? Take a look at the top picks by CNN’s political analysts and then make your choices by dragging the photos to the answer fields.

1. Who do you think won the debate?
No clear winner. Giuliani, McCain and Romney all had effective moments.

2. Who seemed to know most about the issues?
No big difference here. McCain All equally knowledgeable

McCain? Knows the issues? this is just a pitiful answer as he was the slowest witted man on stage.

3. Who had the best one-liner or comeback?
McCain: His response to the woman who asked about her brother’s sacrifice. Also – Giuliani’s lightning strike comment. Tancredo (His remark: “I’d tell George W. Bush never to darken the door of the White House.”) Giuliani (lightning strike) and Huckabee again proved wit and skill.

4. Who had the most disappointing performance at the debate?
George Bush had very few defenders in this field of Republicans. T. Thompson Romney
He didn’t grow

5. Whose performance was most surprising?
Tancredo’s astonishing attack on President Bush. - Huckabee
Witty and warm McCain

6. Whose campaign got the biggest boost from the debate?
McCain and Romney by defending themselves well – and by not attacking each other. Giuliani McCain

7. Who was the snappiest dresser?
Forget clothes. Romney has the best hair. I wonder how much he pays for his haircuts? Romney

I watched in utter disgust for CNN. The word “debate” shouldnt even be attached to that News Show Style Town Hall crap they aired Sun and Tue. What a joke. Then after the debate its a love in for the so called front runners who arent even true Republicans or Conservatives. Ron Paul 2008. Big media can ignore us all they want. This is the classic shoolyard bullying routine that the media has to offer America on a daily basis. Go Ron Go!!!

I tend to look for humility in leaders. I tend to favor candidates who actually answer the questions instaed of diverging to a rehearsed talking point. I want to hear Ron Paul. I want to see him one-on-one with every other candidate on both sides of the aisle. He has captured my imagination and my mind the way Kucinich has captured my heart. And the media is making me sick.
Paul on June 6th, 2007 10:26 am

Yeah, the mainstream media is really showing their true, heavily biased, colors in regards to Ron Paul. This behavior of the mainstream media is actually hastening their own obsolescence, as savy people, craving real news, flock to the internet and to comedy news shows like The Daily Show and the Colbert Report. I’m in my 40s and don’t pay much attention to TV news or newspapers, and I know that folks younger than I am pay even less attention to those sources. All the TV news, local and national, reports about is Paris Hilton and American Idol, while our country is going down the tubes.

It never ceases to amaze me how the media and all their puppets seem to just all but ignore the only real leader in the entire pack. Every time Mr. Ron Paul speaks about any issue it astounds me to his knowledge and absolute answer. All his answers everytime seem to come from constitutionality. What a word. I personally doubt if any one of the other candidates, including those on the Dem side could even spell constitution. Keep up the excellent work Dr. Paul, you must be the leader of our country!!!!!!

CNN was disgraceful.
Peter Osmar on June 6th, 2007 10:43 pm

Truth, they can’t handel the truth.
Overwhelming support for Ron Paul, and disdain for their chosen picks, has caused them to delete the comments made.Name, location, and E-mail should show them that these comments come from real people and are not spam.
They don’t seem to care for the peoples choice.
