After twenty minutes of Tim Russert, Natalie Morales and Brian Williams focusing solely on race and gender issues, and twenty minutes of the three candidates BEGGING to be asked difficult and substantive questions, someone finally stood up. A lone protestor shouted “these are race based questions” and yelled at the moderators to stop focusing on them.

The mood is terrible thus far on the debate. Morales chimed in with a question to John Edwards about being a white male that was one of the dumbest things I have ever heard on one of these.

As they seem to work in the background to take care of the man shouting, I hope the moderators get the point and start asking questions that actually have some substance.
