Republicans asked about Mars, not Darfur

Nov 30, 2007

In Wednesday's CNN/YouTube debate, Republican presidential candidates were asked a number of questions on a variety of issues, ranging from illegal immigration to gun control. But conspicuously missing was a question about Darfur. We know that there were questions about Darfur submitted (such as this one...and this one...and this one from an NBA star), so why wasn't one chosen? Clearly, we still have some work to do in order to get all the presidential candidates talking about solutions for Darfur.

Of course, the candidates were asked about funding to send people to Mars...when will questions about genocide get the same respect?
