I can sympathize with Mark Steyn, who had this to say about the proliferation of e-mails around debate time:
Mitt’s guys clogged up my in-box [...]
Debating the Debate: Tough Times for CNN
29, Nov 2007The CNN/YouTube debate has devolved into a full-fledged nightmare for the TV network. Conservative bloggers show no sign of relenting after a day of disparaging CNN for its poor selection of questions. The story has been at the top of the Drudge Report all day and new reports from the New York Times (in which [...]

The Republican National Committee is taking an interesting approach to recruiting staff. In an e-mail that was presumably sent to its list of bloggers, eCampaign staffer [...]

Fred Thompson’s campaign just e-mailed me a link to former Sen. George Allen’s video responses from last night’s Republican presidential debate. I didn’t get a chance [...]

If you think the criticism of CNN’s question selection at last night’s Republican debate is harsh, just wait until you read the following letter from Quin Hillyer of Citizens United [...]

I’ve already offended farmers across the Midwest with my earlier assault on farm subsidies, so why not pile on with news that ethanol is under [...]

It was one of the worst cases of political pandering I’ve seen in [...]

Where Were the Health Care Questions?
29, Nov 2007At a time when CNN had an opportunity to shine as host of last night’s Republican presidential debate, the network faltered. Today conservatives are left with yet another example of bias at the highest level of the media establishment. It’s another sad example of how liberals deliberately portray conservatives as gun-toting, Bible-thumping, and gay-bashing bigots.

UPDATE — 11:55 p.m.: Mary Katherine Ham has photos on Townhall.
