Comments on: Dodd Calls For Free and Open Debate Video http://ctlocalpolitics.net//2007/05/05/dodd-calls-for-free-and-open-debate-video/ Connecticut politics and elections: discussion, analysis, opinion, news and maps Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:17:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: gmr http://ctlocalpolitics.net//2007/05/05/dodd-calls-for-free-and-open-debate-video/comment-page-1/#comment-7904 gmr Sun, 06 May 2007 12:19:27 +0000 http://ctlocalpolitics.net/2007/05/05/dodd-calls-for-free-and-open-debate-video/#comment-7904 I can see why the networks wouldn't want a debate video released into the public domain right away (after all, the network had to incur some sort of expense to coördinate with all the candidates, get the location, pay for the camera guy, grip, gaffer, best boy and other weird sounding positions that are in the credits at the end of movies. So they should have an exclusive for a news cycle or two I guess. But after 24 or 48 hours or whatever, I would assume that these debates wouldn't be so newsworthy anymore, and they could be released to be aired on other stations or on the web or wherever. I guess they could be like sports highlights, where if another network aired them, they'd have to say "Courtesy MSNBC" in the corner or whatever.

Fedele hasn't appeared in the comments section, but he has <a HREF="http://ctlocalpolitics.net/2007/02/15/lt-governor-fedele-responds-to-reader-questions/" rel="nofollow">answered reader questions</A> in a blog posting. Also he does want to live blog in the future. Participating in the comments section after a guest post is encouraged but not required. Also remember most politicians aren't yet regular readers of blogs. They don't necessarily know that sticking around in the comments section is expected.

Exactly -- Dodd is a Democrat and Fedele is a Republican. That explains everything in terms of expectations, right? Republican leader writes comments, then he should stay around, take a few punches, and provide some insightful answers to the great readers/writers from this website. Democratic leader writes comments -- oh, very good -- go ahead and take off, no need to stay around -- we're simply blessed to receive comments from you. Good call, Architect.

Healthcare also had a wide variety of opinion. Though I must say at times Hillary would have seemed more comfortable at the GOP debate, I mean come on, it's easy to say you'd retaliate, but against who and with what army. Barack caught a lot of flack for his response, but I think his was far more thoughtful.

Abortion, everyone said pretty much the same thing, except for Rudy, but I'm got the impression he doesn't even have a clear understanding of his own abortion opinion. The war, was basically good war badly executed, with the exception of Ron Paul. The only difference on how to fight terror seemed to be at what point do we go in a bomb Iran. And taxes, the only really different policies I heard were Ron Paul, and Brownback, and I am sure you would be more than happy to hand him that dull ax. TS,

Thanks! In looking over the post and comments, it doesn't appear as though he ever responed to the comments or questions. Not that I'd expect him to, but seems the expectations were different for Fedele. I do stand corrected, CGG. Thanks!

In that respect the GOP has the Democrat party beat hands down. There was a wide diversity of thought on that stage Thursday night - from abortion, to the war, to taxes the candidates presented almost every view on the spectrum. Contrasted with the party line stances of the Dems the week earlier it provided for much less of a choice for Democrats. toucan – When choosing a Presidential candidate the GOP, and I, are more concerned with the content of a candidate’s character thaqn the color of their skin.

Why doesn't he start right here by doing, as the LG did, and write a post? Or, do a video blog for all the CLP'ers to see? He may see the growing importance of blogs, but hasn't really demonstrated that first hand in his home state. You’re right, Archie.
