You can't blame CNN for cutting to audience shots all night long at the Dem Debate in Hollywood tonight: Barack and Hillary were too busy being substantive and friendly to provide much in the way of fireworks. And the DNC packed the house with celebs-- Leo, Spielberg, Diane Keaton, Bradley Whitford, Jason Alexander, but I have a question for you readers; a genuine non-rhetorical one. Is this too much celebrity to have at a DNC debate? Watching the show, I couldn't help but wonder if the Kodak Theatre has a "If you haven't received a gift bag in the last year, don't bother" admissions policy. We all know that for the most-part, Hollywood loves the Dems, but is the image of the two nominees performing for such an elite crowd really the one the party wants to send to America? Or do you think voters respond positively when they see that the Dems are the party that can make Stevie Wonder get up and cheer?
