This chart from ChrisDodd.com confirms my major impression of the Democratic candidate debate of last night. Moderator Wolf Blitzer was getting in the way. He gave himself more air time than six of the eight candidates. His schoolroom requests for a "show of hands" was condescending and his hypothetical questions were loaded. In short, his bias was showing. If CNN is attempting to fulfill its FCC mandate and perform a public service by devoting air time to the issues of life and death that face our nation, it should do viewers a favor and tell Blitzer to put a cork in it or have him declare his candidacy. Of the real candidates, I thought Gov. Bill Richardson gained the most from his participation.
