Debates About Debates: Blogs Win

by Patrick Ruffini :: August 25th, 2007 11:18 am

The netroots can formally claim victory, months after the fact, after the Fox/CBC debate was formally called off yesterday.

And of course, the Save the Debate coalition is on track for victory, helping reinstate the CNN/YouTube debate.

Where they succeeded in shutting down the debate, we succeeded in expanding the debate. You have to ask yourself, which side is playing a more constructive role in the political process? Which side is encouraging its candidates to go speak to millions of people they would have otherwise reached?

The Democrats had a golden opportunity to talk directly to millions of conservatives in a Fox debate. In retrospect, I’m glad they didn’t do it.
