Q:

How do I access the CDATA in a title tag in XML with Nokogiri? 

Here is an example of the XML I am working with:
<item rdf:about="http://auburn.craigslist.org/cpg/5368609005.html">
<title><![CDATA[Help Wanted for Online Business]]></title>
<link>http://auburn.craigslist.org/cpg/5368609005.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Create a safer environment for your children and WORK FROM HOME helping others do the same.  
NO Sales, No Home parties, No Tele-marketing!  1/2 computer 1/2 telephone .......No Risk Involved!........High speed Internet and telephone with long distance [...]]]></description>
<dc:date>2016-01-16T09:14:35-06:00</dc:date>
<dc:language>en-us</dc:language>
<dc:rights>&#x26;copy; 2016 &#x3C;span class="desktop"&#x3E;craigslist&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;span class="mobile"&#x3E;CL&#x3C;/span&#x3E;</dc:rights>
<dc:source>http://auburn.craigslist.org/cpg/5368609005.html</dc:source>
<dc:title><![CDATA[Help Wanted for Online Business]]></dc:title>
<dc:type>text</dc:type>
<dcterms:issued>2016-01-16T09:14:35-06:00</dcterms:issued>
</item>

I got this by doing this:
    doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(content_url)) do |config|
        config.strict.noblanks
    end
        bq = doc.xpath("//item")

When I attempt to debug this with pry, this is what it tells me bq looks like:
[5] pry(main)> bq.first
=> #(Element:0x3fbfec8f9788 {
  name = "item",
  attributes = [ #(Attr:0x3fbfec8f195c { name = "rdf:about", value = "http://auburn.craigslist.org/cpg/5368609005.html" })],
  children = [
    #(Element:0x3fbfec8e939c { name = "title" }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfec8e0b98 { name = "link" }),
    #(Text "http://auburn.craigslist.org/cpg/5368609005.html\n"),
    #(Element:0x3fbfec8dd18c { name = "description" }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfed088e68 { name = "date", children = [ #(Text "2016-01-16T09:14:35-06:00")] }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfed079620 { name = "language", children = [ #(Text "en-us")] }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfec8d1044 { name = "rights", children = [ #(Text "&copy; 2016 <span class=\"desktop\">craigslist</span><span class=\"mobile\">CL</span>")] }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfed054050 { name = "source", children = [ #(Text "http://auburn.craigslist.org/cpg/5368609005.html")] }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfed025408 { name = "title" }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfec89d2a8 { name = "type", children = [ #(Text "text")] }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfec85e79c { name = "issued", children = [ #(Text "2016-01-16T09:14:35-06:00")] })]
  })

Notice that the 3 fields that have CDATA values/text are all blank in Nokogiri. 
Specifically, I am referring to these lines:
<title><![CDATA[Help Wanted for Online Business]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Create a safer environment for your children and WORK FROM HOME helping others do the same.  
NO Sales, No Home parties, No Tele-marketing!  1/2 computer 1/2 telephone .......No Risk Involved!........High speed Internet and telephone with long distance [...]]]></description>
<dc:title><![CDATA[Help Wanted for Online Business]]></dc:title>

Which produced these results:
[5] pry(main)> bq.first
    #(Element:0x3fbfec8e939c { name = "title" }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfec8dd18c { name = "description" }),
    #(Element:0x3fbfed025408 { name = "title" }),

Why are those values blank and how can I specifically look for and get that CDATA text?

Use Nokogiri::XML, not Nokogiri::HTML:
