Embrace the snowman Posted by: The Economist \| AUSTIN Categories: 08 Monday night's CNN/YouTube debate between the Democratic candidates was great fun and I, for one, have been looking forward to September 17th, when the Republican candidates are scheduled to field YouTube questions. But there may be a problem. The Washington Post notes that only two, John McCain and Ron Paul, have said they'll attend. The others are claiming scheduling problems, although the real issue may be that they have no sense of humour: In an interview Wednesday with the Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader, Romney said he's not a fan of the CNN/YouTube format. Referring to the video of a snowman asking the Democratic candidates about global warming, Romney quipped, "I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman." Oh come on Mitt. You're not president yet and with this attitude you never will be. As we note in our account of the debate, one of the best things about a presidential campaign is seeing serious adults make pancakes and show up at fish fries and watch dachsund races and so on, to prove that they are reg'lar folks. The snowman in question, who might get my vote as a write-in candidate: economist.com
