You have to be kidding me, these were extremely hackish and irrelevant questions. This is like Rachel Maddow asking Palin if McCain's percieved "Fascist" views were damaging to his campaign and then asking if McCain's tax policy was purposely sticking up for big business special interests.
I'd love to see it - not from Rachel Maddow, but from a non-opinion journalist. I'm sick and tired of politicians being asked the same old softball questions and giving the same tired talking point answers. Let's see what happens when they are thrown off their game. You think America's enemies are going to lob softballs in international negotiations?
Biden lied through his teeth about the Obama campaign not giving a penny to ACORN (try 80,000,000 pennies, Joe), but otherwise did a pretty decent job defending the Obama campaign.
And just because Democrats don't like the questions doesn't make them hackish or irrelevant.
