The Questions Not Asked

Debate after debate after debate, and the moderators continue to ask the most banal questions. Do they even listen to the candidates answers? Some of them demand a follow-up. A knucklehead like me can see it. Why can't the professional journalists. How about these....
Mrs. Clinton, you have emphasized the importance of experience. If experience is so important, why shouldn't a voter choose Governor Richardson over yourself?
Mr. Giuliani, you've criticized Senators Clinton and Obama's qualifications for the presidency, as they've never run a city, state or business. Using your own criteria, are Senators McCain and Thompson unqualified for the presidency?
Mr. Romney, you're now declaring yourself the candidate of change in the Republican party. Yet, in the first Republican debate, you were asked what's currently wrong with America, and you said 'nothing'. If nothing is wrong with the country, why change anything? Or, were you less than frank when answering that question at the debate?
C'mon, MSM. It's not that difficult. Really.
