Don't forget to listen in or watch Wednesday's Herseth-Diedrich debate to be broadcast by South Dakota Public Broadcasting. Hopefully, Larry Diedrich will get a clear answer from Stephanie Herseth on the issue of making all of the Bush tax cuts permanent, rather than the dissembling we're starting to see Herseth engage in. Does she support making all of the Bush tax cuts permanent or doesn't she? If the forum allows it, Larry needs to ask her the question in a leading manner, and keep repeating the question until she answers it: "Stephanie, you don't support making all of the Bush tax cuts permanent, do you?" The more she dissembles on the question, the more opportunities Larry has to ask the question again, reminding the audience that Herseth doesn't support making all of the Bush tax cuts permanent. When you ask leading questions, the audience is listening to you, not to the one being questioned. At least that's what they taught me in my trial techniques class. They say it works.
