Do you think CNN will stoop so low as to ask the candidates about "The Snub?"

[MadBadger]

I do. What about you?

[jlake]

1. It will be mentioned. Not sure why you consider it low though.

[canadianbeaver]

6. I would say its low as well......

about as low as talking about the hill shrill......these non-issues do not matter....if its asked ..its asked to be divisive...plain and simple...imho...

[jlake]

11. Maybe we can get a definitive answer on what happened.

Maybe they will both laugh it off and the issue can finally die.

[canadianbeaver]

14. that would be nice.....I sure wish it would die.....along with the other

Non issue revelations of late.

I freakin hate the media....no good fuggers.

[anamandujano]

17. I'd advise Obama and Clinton to hug each other as soon as they

hit the stage and when they are asked repeatedly about it say, "it's over, let's move on."

Someone can also mention that they watched the Repuke debate (using the more civil term) and were delighted how well it stayed on issue.

(Of course Hillary might want to use Obama's arrogance against him, not saying anything but allowing him to continue melting himself down. Shame on her :evilgrin: but it's for the good of the country. imho)

[alstephenson]

2. In a word: "Yes".

[indie_voter]

3. You bet they will. n/t

[liberalnurse]

4. Yes I do................

Why........................I think the media pundits, they are so superficial, so high on marijuana that they can't articulate the serious issues.

[Enrique]

10. unlike us at DU

[depakid]

5. NOTHING is too low for CNN

and it serves the Dems right for allowing them and their inane commentators to host the debates.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

22. Not even the volume function at zero.

[aquart]

7. You betcha. Obama will be allowed to explain how we didn't see what we saw.

And his supporters will enthusiastically accept his explanation.

[liberalnurse]

28. Perfectly explained.

O8) Well clarified.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Of course.....they are as low was we are.

We used to be better, but not anymore.

[redqueen]

9. Is the Pope Catholic?

It IS the whore media we're talking about.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. If Obama hadn't snubbed her, they wouldn't need to ask about it. nt

[anamandujano]

30. True. He handed them the ammo on a silver platter w parsley.

To the people here who think they should both play into MSM hands, the Repukes and their right hand men would be happy if the whole debate were used up on this one topic. Try to argue against that one.

I was joking in my other post saying that Hillary should just let him have a meltdown.

Best idea is for them to keep shaking hands and patting each other on the back until Wolf or whoever has the honors has to say over and over "let's get started." They will have the audience in hysterics and bury the issue once and for all.

I do believe the big O will continue to put his real character on display (but at least they won't waste the last debate).

[LSparkle]

13. The only thing low about the incident is the way HRC is playing victim

again. If she felt that was a snub, then her skin must not be as thick as she claims.

[Bluerthanblue]

15. I hope so- and I hope she comes clean, or is exposed for the player

she is acting like.

Hillary is a very intelligent, powerful woman. If she can't win this election on her actual abilities, she should at least lose it honestly- not by using her sex to manipulate others.

I am a woman- I would be very happy to have a woman president.
But not because she's a woman- because she'd be the best person for the job.

And given what Hillary is doing- and has done, she is not the best person for this job. That is quite obvious.

IMO

peace~

[Vinca]

16. MSM is all about getting a headline. They don't care about substance,

just fluff. If they can get Hillary to go berserk or Obama to swear under his breath, they've done their job.

[my3boyz]

21. I hope they ask him

so he can explain what happened. I hope he mentions how there are pictures out there in a series that prove he did not snub her. Then Chris Matthews will have to shut the hell up about the snub. Oh and then I would like them to ask Hillary so she can look Obama in the eyes and tell that lie.

[John Q. Citizen]

18. I hope they ask about how Hill was desperate for Obamas handshake and approval. But I bet they don't

On the other hand they might.

The non-hand-shake non-story will be the first question asked.

[beachmom]

19. It would behoove the candidates to beat them to it, and bury the hatchett.

Obama first, hopefully.

Gosh, it reminds me of When Harry Met Sally (except the opposite situation: the guy should speak up on this first).

Please let Obama make the first move on this!!!

LOL.

[featherman]

20. Media loves dish and this is juicy dish to them

No brainer - certainly works for Obama if asked, easily and pleasantly explained away

[DUyellow]

23. 100% yes. wolf will ask it

[TexasObserver]

24. Are you kidding? They'll lead with it.

Mainstream Media is all about the 8th grade lunch room gossip approach to debate.

Did you hear what he/she said about him/her?!! Tabloid nonsense.

I've seen the entire set of photos, and in my view, Clinton never made eye contact with Obama, and never extended her hand to him. She extended a hand to Kennedy. It's the kind of thing that causes Democrats with legitimate concerns about issues to wince at the way the Clinton team approaches making points. It's such a transparent attempt to try to paint Obama in an unflattering light.

Hillary needs to ditch all these things that scream out "victim" and run like someone who could be president. If she is the nominee, she's no good to us if she gets there by appealing to sympathy instead of substance. Any time she runs on ruffled feathers, she diminishes her chances of winning the presidency. That isn't going to sell in November. It might get some quick, short term success in selected primaries, but it comes at a real and lingering cost.

[Skip Intro]

25. Hope so. Why would it be low of them?

[Hoof Hearted]

26. Of course they will. Obama should welcome the opportunity, if he gets testy or defensive

it'll just kind of prove that whole smoke and fire thing.

If he is gracious and mature about it, I'll be impressed.

[thoughtcrime1984]

27. Of course! The MSM is petty, childish, and Republican...

Any chance to show a "major rift" in the party will be exploited.

[Blue_In_AK]

29. Of course, they will.

I'll be totally shocked if they don't.

[lurky]

31. Duh... Of course!

Then they will ask each candidate what they think of Brittney Spears' recent behavior and how he or she would address that as president.

Finally, they will want to know whether the candidates will create a special DHS response team to focus on locating missing blond girls.

[ecstatic]

32. Yes! Especially if Wolf is involved

:puke:

[Hieronymus]

33. Yes
