Despite what you have heard, the list of moderators for the upcoming debates is not final -- both sides are still negotiating details (I have this from the highest sources).
If any of you watched the Democrat debates, you will have noted that the best moderators were Brit Hume and (shockingly) Peter Jennings. Peter aside, I think we should at least try to make a little noise for Mr. Hume. There are enough FReepers to at least create a moderate stir.
So, here is what you need to do:
Call FoxNews at 1-888-369-4762 and leave a message stating that you would like to see Mr. Hume moderate one debate. Also call the following entities and leave similar messages:
Commission on Presidential Debates: (202) 872-1020
Bush-Cheney '04: 703.647.2700
The Republican National Committee: 202.863.8500
This will only become an issue if we MAKE it into one; so, please do your part. If enough people call/write, it will at least advance the proposal.
Also, email the following entities and let them know that you would like Mr. Hume to moderate a debate:
Fox News (Brit's Show): Special@foxnews.com
The RNC: info@gop.com
Bush-Cheney '04: BushCheney04@GeorgeWBush.com
Please make sure your friends and family do the same. The least we can do is put the idea out there and on the table. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Draft Brit BUMP!

Can I nominate R. Lee Ermey?
"Shut your cake hole, you f'n dweeb. Please continue, Mr. President."
I am comforted that the president is being represented in the debate negotiations by Jim Baker. As we saw in the 2000 Florida drama, there's no one better to have on your side. He made the Rats look like rank amateurs.
I'll email these three places, but I'm not sure how this works. Do you ask Fox that they support Brit to be one of the moderators? How are moderators nominated?

Just say that you would like to see Brit moderate a debate.
BTT!!!!!!
Where is it carved in stone that there must be debates? The way things are trending, there doesn't seem to be much benefit to Bush giving Kerry a soapbox (though I do believe that if he did, Kerry would become unhinged, ala Howard Dean).
Commission on Presidential Debates, where is Brit Hume of Fox News?

I'd rather see John Gibson do the moderating. Kerry probably wouldn't even show up in that case.
John Gibson as a moderator, now that's a really funny thought. How about Brian Kilmeade?
