"gave Romney and McCain the soft ball questions...." All I can say is: 1) Eye of the beholder, and: 2) With TEN candidates on a stage, it's damn near impossible to give a 'range' of 'soft ball' and 'hard ball' questions to each. So... it's more like a 'grab bag' what any one guy will get. (Personally... I didn't hear any 'hard' questions that were asked of Rudy. I though his were as 'soft' as most everyone else's.) Maybe --- in the interests of perceived 'fairness', and old codgers like us not griping about the process anymore --- they should just write up a couple of hundred questions and then drop 'em all in a hat, and then pass the hat down the line of candidates... letting them each stick their hands in and grab questions at random! (Then, I guess, we could get a lot of amusement out of hearing Rudy get asked to 'explain how his Mormon faith influences his political behavior'... and McCain getting asked 'how fast he could cut the deficit with his get-out-of-Iraq plan... and Ron Paul asked 'how much he plans on increasing government subsidies'. :-)
