I have a question regarding the Town Hall format.
As I understand it, people in the audience a given the opportunity to ask questions directly to the candidates.
Is there any type of screening of the type of questions that are asked? I mean this is live, on national TV. Couldn't some fruit loop ask something
so completely bizarre that everyone of the millions of viewers would just sit in stunned silence?
And who is actually allowed to be in the audience? Is there some type of polling that takes place so that all sides of the political spectrum are
represented? And who actually would be doing the screening?
I'm kind of warily looking forward to this but I wouldn't count out something pretty strange from going down.
Of course they don't get a choice, most often these "random" questions are not random at all and were given as a choice of a few to the audience
member. They then choose the one they want to ask, and voila they do.
To Tenfly, how can you be so oblivious,
"What if, Mr. Obama is, in our current time, our JFK? Obama stands for change. Obama has gathered the attention of the public for CHANGE, after all
that the US has been through, there are many that have hope that Obama can bring that change."
Do you really honestly, like SERIOUSLY, believe that statement? I feel sooo terrible for you and people like you who believe so whole-heatedly in the
absolutely corrupt government that you guys have LET take everything away from you.
Obama was simply who the corporations lobbied into the position hes in, hes still there for greedy, selfish, reasoning - not to change the country for
the good. We already lost that chance when Ron Paul lost.
