The Presidential Debates - Is It a Level Playing Field?

Tweet

They just had the 10,000th (or it sure seems like it!) Democratic Presidential debate on Thursday night and as with all the ones that came before for either party the pundits spent hours afterward plus most of the next day talking about who won and who lost. The problem is they only focus on the ones the media consider to be the "front-runners" no matter how well the other candidates do and that's so unfair I think. It's already way too much about the money; the debates should be the one forum where the playing field is leveled but that 's not the case. People are easily influenced by what they read and hear and I'm sure even if someone watched every second of a debate it would still be possible for them to be convinced that their perception of who was the "winner" wasn't necessarily an accurate one. Is it just me or does anyone else here feel all the candidates aren't getting a fair shake? Annie
