We Were Watching
In an interview with the Hotline, Wolf Blitzer said CNN was trying a new format by going with an hour of traditional moderator-asked questioned followed by an hour of a town-hall style format. Republicans were clearly watching their Democratic rivals and have a distinct advantage in doing the latter debate. In the town hall format, which was the slower half of the Democratic debate, John McCain stood up when it was his turn to address the audience. Rudy Giuliani and Jim Gilmore quickly followed. It was much better TV. [EMILY GOODIN]
