[Dr. Sivana]

Did the debate moderator ask any of them about something one of the other debaters said about their wife/girlfriend?

I know you are just being facetious, referring to the NON-debates that were held recently. But just for general information, the moderator's role (Mr. Speaker) is quite limited. He announces the topic, calls upon the speakers inorder, enforces time, rules on points of order, enforces general decorum. Outside of the topic, the only questions are among the debaters only.

I heard that Hugh Hewitt was going to have a role in the previous media event and he got very limited time compare to Jake Toe-tapper.
