CBS anchor Katie Couric announced that she has returned from the campaign trail and will launch her series Primary Questions tomorrow. The format consists of asking the same ten questions to each of ten top Presidential candidates--among those excluded were Christopher Dodd, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter--and then editing together a montage of answers. Couric's stated goal is to reveal more about the candidates' "core values" less about their "policy positions." Couric sampled some of the posers she came up with: "What one book other than the Bible would you bring with you to the White House?" "Besides your family what are you most afraid of losing?" "Who is the single most impressive person you have ever met?"
She quoted sample answers, including this from Barack Obama: "I am going to have to think about this one. Am I allowed to think about this for a second?"
