Reflections on the Debate (Las Vegas)- no. 3

Is John Roberts of CNN intentionally or unintentionally promoting Repub talking points? You will remember the commercial during the 2004 Presidential election campaign ridiculing Democratic nominee Kerry for allegedly "being against before he was for" the Iraq war and how it became arguably the signature Repub talking point of that campaign. During the Democratic Presidential debate of 11/15/07, Roberts unhelpfully stated that John Edwards had accused Senator Clinton of "flip-flopping" and, more pejoratively, told Edwards "you have changed your position on several issues. You were for the Yucca Mountain nuclear repository before you were against it. You were for the Iraq war before you were against it." Sounds like the old Repub commercial. Disgraceful.
