Debate Analysis: ABC Asked Most Scandal Questions, Obama Was Clear Target

That said, I found the results of applying this method surprising. Here are the notable takeaways:

1) ABC's debate was in a class of its own, with more scandal and non-policy questions than any other. ABC asked the most scandal questions, and both ABC and NBC devoted only half of their questions to policy issues. The CNN debates were dramatically more policy-focused.
2) Barack Obama has received the overwhelming majority of scandal questions over the course of the four debates, by a margin of 17 to 4. Obama has fielded questions about his "bitter" remarks, his connections to 60s-era radical William Ayres, two questions about flag lapels, two questions about his alleged plagiarism of speeches, three questions on Louis Farrakhan, and eight about Jeremiah Wright.

Clinton has received only four such questions -- two about her Bosnia trip, one about a photo of Obama in African garb that was linked to her campaign without evidence by the Drudge Report, and one over-the-top inquiry about Bill Clinton ("If your campaign can't control the former president now, what will it be like when you're in the White House?").

3) Networks 'balanced' scandal questions to Obama by repeatedly asking Clinton about Obama's electability/readiness. In three of the four debates, moderators followed scandal questions to Obama by asking Clinton whether she doubts Obama's electability or experience.

see an analysis confirming what many people thought.

wanting to stay focused on issues with that he "can't take the heat" :mad:

She's never taken the high road when she's been presented with the option to slam Obama, so the spin is no surprise.

This time, though, the debate was widely panned for the sham that it was, so the attempts by the MSM to go along with the Clinton campaign in parroting the "can't take the heat" pap look more ridiculous than normal.

Clinton and the RWNM have been throwing more mud at Obama. Once the mud is thrown, it becomes an "issue" that the candidate needs to respond to.

Who knows what else would have come out if it hadn't sunk Obama's campaign hopes so thoroughly.

When will all the BS go away? Will we take back our country in my lifetime? Its going to take more than one presidency to clear out the faux journalism, the corruption, the corporatism, etc.
