"I thought gun control was the most glaring omission." I agree it's a notable omission. "A balanced budget question would have been good too, however it's the sort of question everyone would say yes to." VERY GOOD to have that question. (Not that any of this current crop of bozos - other then Paul - would likely have to guts to support it. :-( So, no, I think your conclusion is wrong. Asking the candidates if they do or don't support a Constitutional amendment for a balanced budget establishes a clear delineation among them --- showing who is truly for smaller government and who is just flapping their gums. (Just asking people if they are 'for' balanced budgets though, without asking about the mechanism to provide that, would be a bit like asking if they are 'for' Mom and apple pie.... Ya gotta get specific: B.B.C.A., PAYGO rules, 'no tax' pledges, etc., otherwise all you get is agreeable mush.)
