Republican candidates slow to join YouTube debate

News: So far, only Ron Paul and John McCain have agreed to participate in the CNN YouTube debate on September 17 co-sponsored by the Republican Party of Florida. Apparently, Rudy Giuliani won’t join. And Mitt Romney took a pot shot at CNN/YouTube, stating, “I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman.” (more from Wash Post)

Analysis: Cowardly.

    “I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman.”

    In other words, the president is above answering questions from U.S. citizens. That sounds familiar.
