DEL.ICIO.USA word about format
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Denver - The format of this Libertarian debate is much different than those used in the televised debates of Democratic and Republican candidates.
For one, these questions are all about policy. There’s none of the silliness that sometimes pervades the major-party debates.
On one hand, that’s good, because it keeps the focus on policy and candidates’ positions. On the other, it limits a candidate’s ability to tee off on another in the hopes of weakening a stronger opponent or delivering a killing, albeit rhetorical, blow to a weaker candidate.
That said, at some point don’t be surprised if one candidate still takes a shot toward the top, and that’s most likely to be a shot at Bob Barr.
