Newsies can ask the stupidest questions

Watched the Republican debate last night. Outstandingly stupid question comes from Tim Russert. "Mayor Guiliani, how do you feel about your drop in the polls from 40% to 20%?" Russert doesn't need to ask this question, we all know the answer. It gave Guliani a few minutes to tell us how morale in his campaign is high, the polls will change, and he will win. We know that, and we know Guliani is gonna say it. Why bother with the question?
Then the newsies spent some time trying to get the Republicans to say mean things about one another on stage. The candidates may not be the sharpest knives in the box, but they are too smart to start negative campaigning right on TV.
