I just now watched this debate which was held about a week ago. And while I was watching it I realized I needed to bring up some issues I had with it.
1. Interesting that Democrats will not go and debate on Foxnews (because it is a propaganda machine). But Howard University (Historically Black College) is not. Every one of those questions was just lobbed up to them. I mean these are all the issues in their wheelhouse.
2. I could have answered every question with this simple answer..... Those damn rich white people and the Iraq war are to blame for all of our problems. And I would have been considered the winner of the debate. I think I heard the phrase personal responsibility one time and it was from Barack Obama.
And of course the crowd loved to hear about if white people were having these problems (whether with Aids, Poverty, Education, Katrina - things would be different).
I do recommend watching clips 2,3, and 4. These are all about race and poverty in America. Just listening to some of these answers is why I can never vote Democrat. (Maybe Barack because of his before mentioned personal responsibility answer).

On your first point... I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but everything right now with both parties is a propaganda machine. The election strategies are all planned out months in advance. Any candidate regardless of party would be a God damn idiot to put themselves in a situation now where they could potentially look like a moron (or for that matter say something remotely controversial). All candidates are going to go places where it's safe and they'll get the softball questions. The risks happen after the primaries and each party has its candidate. So that's not a surprise to me that the democrats wouldn't go on Fox.
Weird how the Republicans debated at an event moderated by CNN
Oh and by the way the Republicans are debating in September at Morgan St (Historically Black College), and it is moderated by the same people from the Howard debate.
You lose on this one
Based on Iraq, and terrorism in general, it don't take a rocket scientist to figure out the democrats are cowards.
You're right, a rocket scientist wouldn't figure that out. They're usually intelligent.
