If You Ask Them, They Won’t Come

So they have used YouTube to promote themselves, but when it comes to answering questions from the public, they can't seem to anty up. With hundreds of YouTubers posting questions for the upcoming Republican Debate, only two have accepted the invite - Senator John McCain (AZ) and Rep. Ron Paul (TX). Giuliani, Romney, and Tancredo all have their own YouTube pages with videos promoting their campaign, so why won't they show? "I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," Governor Romney said, commenting on the Democratic Debate this past month. Granted, the snowman was a bit kooky. But because it came from a lowly citizen, does it make it less relevant? "You hear a lot about supporting the troops from the Republicans, and we're not getting any kind of support from the government ..... We are getting more than 15-month deployments. We are getting cut out of our bonuses. .... How will you support the troops?" Erin Neaves asked on her uploaded video. So will they show? Or will they not? Only time will tell. At least we know that Congressman Paul, who seems to be racking up the questions, will attend. Vote here for the questions you want to see answered. - Jason Knight
