Will Saturday Night Live do a skit on the GOP Debate?

Lame. Let's just keep parodying the same people year after year.

^I agree. Tina Fey though had the best line about Katie Couric.

Such a tame SNL show, and skit. I think NBC doesn't want to upwardly promote the so-called lesser candidates, or a FOX cable debate in any event. Nor did they want their phones to light up with thousands of annoyed Paul supporters upset over a portrayal of him as a nutty candidate. Through several sketches SNL also laid out the PC line about Osama's supposed 2011 killing and how "all Americans are cool with how the US got 'em." Anybody questioning any aspect of it or our foreign policy (not stating anything, just asking a question) was branded a "conspiracy theorist." So much for SNL as a courageous comedy show.

Bottom line, the BROADCAST media is still resistant to giving Paul ANY emphasis, since they know the exposure may elevate him. WE should not be so caught up in the cable TV debate scene, by implication. Mainstream exposure for Paul through the primetime networks is what we should be shooting for, not cable crumbs.

the poll is now split 50/50

via a 7 to 7 vote tally now

 

[MelissaWV]

I voted, because I couldn't believe this was still at 7/7 after the matter was already aired

 

[Aratus]

i see its fun being a tie-breaker!

besides, i feel they may decide

to do a skit or 2 on T~PAW

now that NEWT's EGO has

collided with MITT's smile.

 

[Aratus]

SNL methinks hates the idea
of giving RON PAUL traction!

 

[R3volutionJedi]

i like how none of the actual people were in that haha

It helps them then.
and...Do you think Ron Paul will be made fun of in the future on SNL??

 

[Aratus]

T~PAW is more vulnerable.
HERMAN CAIN + T~PAW
could gang up on SANTORUM
or even if SNL tried to do a
skit like that, they'd still have to
show RON PAUL being there!
SNL knew he had strong poll numbers.
