After seeing how the public got to ask the questions in the Democratic YouTube Debate, the brave GOP candidates are jumping off the ship. Seems they don't want any unscripted questions to break through their carefully crafted images.

The real question is, are they afraid they will get some tough questions about Iraq, or do they fear that one of their wingnut supporters will toss out some missive best discussed behind party doors? Do they really want America to see how radical and out-of-touch they are?

The Democrats have to be delighted about this. I can see the campaign commercials now, how the GOP is scared to answer citizen questions, the wimps. Should be fun.
