As a sponsor of the Save The Debate Coalition, I strongly pushed for a Republican CNN/YouTube Debate. I truly thought that it was a great idea to have Average American Citizens ask questions of the Presidential candidates through the new medium of YouTube. I also had too much faith in CNN. Having grown up desiring either a career in journalism or politics, and having friends in the MSM I just thought that CNN would do a better job at choosing the questions than they did. In the end Governor Romney’s reservations were absolutely right on the money. CNN turned the entire thing into a farce. I have lost almost all respect for their organization, and look upon them a lot more skeptical than I did coming into the debate.
To end this, I want to apologize to Governor Romney and his staff for pushing this so hard. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I really wish that I would have looked deeper at the ramifications of this from your perspective. I just got caught up in it, and for that I am sorry. As the slogan says on my “Women for Romney” site says, “I’m a woman who believes that Mitt Romney is the kind of man who can lead the next generation”, and I’m more than thrilled to support Governor Romney as the 44th President of the United States.
Most Apologetically,
Ann Marie Curling
Founder - Elect Romney in 2008
P.S. I think that this sums up the whole debate very well —–>An Embarrassing End to the YouTube Experiment it’s written by Blake D. Dvorak
