Next Up: Presidential Idol

Is this a new thing? Did this just happen for the first time, or did I miss it in the past?

Everywhere I look there are ads for tomorrow’s Republican debate, with a big, eye-catching rendering of CNN’s lithe studboy (as opposed to their chunkier studboys, of which there are plenty these days.) A presidential debate is now, for the first time as far as I can recall, being promoted by who is moderating. Anderson Cooper is now, officially, the Ryan Seacrest of politics.
