David R. , Houston, TX.		September 21st, 2007 11:58 am ET Why didn't CNN make a big story of the Democratic candidates refusing to debate on FOX NEWS?

RA The Framing Wizard LV, NV		September 21st, 2007 11:37 am ET CNN; Read what you write and listen to people speak on your broadcasting. These people (Politicians and News Media); servants of our nation and America’s elite are on a different planet or they just do not get it! We are American’s in a free land; are we or are we not? Then Americans are just Americans and as a “United States of America” we are not Anglo Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and Indian Americans, etc., etc., etc. Is African American a statement of separation or racial bigotry? We are only Americans!

@wolfblitzercnn: Redskins-Giants always exciting. Both teams have a lot to prove. And Giants can still salvage playoffs. Skins just need a win.
