39. Are Republicans Really This Arrogant

Oh, never mind.

Obviously, if CBS or ABC conducts a debate they will determine the moderator. There is no way they would consider allowing the GOP to dictate the moderator, especially if it is someone like Sean Hannity of Fox. They may even boycott the debates in solidarity with NBC and CNN. Why the GOP thinks they hold the high cards in this just boggles the mind. They need the media and not the other way around.

Let the Republicans hold their convention in June and give the stage to Democrats in July and August then try to regain lost ground when the campaigns kick off in earnest after Labor Day. It is unbelievable just how brain dead Republicans have become -- and they think they are being smart. They like to stick it in reverse and then gun the engine.
