C&LC&L sources who are on GOP e-mail lists report that at least a half hour before the debate was even finished, they started receiving e-mails spinning and whining about the format and how it wasn't a REAL town hall -- therefore, it's unfair to poor John McCain. Ben Smith at Politico got the ball rolling:
I wrote earlier that this would likely be an empathy contest, but between the odd rules, the candidates, and the visibly displeased moderator, that's not really happening. The questions are basically impersonal, and the questioners then disappear.
Right. It's not the debater who failed....it's the debate format that failed him.
Okay, using the same logic as displayed here; It's not Bush who failed the country... it's the country that failed him.
Or; It's not that conservatism failed the nation... it's that the nation failed conservatism.
