An interesting comment

Mr. Ross has an interesting pro vs. con debate on the political situation in our Government.

I was especially struck by the differences in the venues of the first two debates. Perhaps the Democrats had other reasons for not utilizing FoxNews' offer of sponsorship but it certainly appeared to this observer as a fearful knee jerk response to their outspoken left wing.
Whereas; as Mr. Ross points out, the Republicans were on a network that is not a friend of the Right and both Matthews and Olberman are not known for their support of this administration.

Step over there an have a look.
