Well, who else could moderate the debates? Librarians? Non-partisan types of SOME kind?? the American Idol panel?
This could be good.
Perhaps just leaders of citizens groups, etc. could step up to the mics.
It could work.
I rather liked Luntz’s recent interview where the candidates just stood directly in front of the focus group and answered questions ...it really brought out an entirely new dimension of each one of them (only SAntorum and Newt participated — obviously Mitt couldn’t be bothered).
As usual — Newt innovates!
How about C-SPAN “moderates” this type of debate — a citizens debate. People just come on in and ask the candidates questions.
I’d trust c-span to do it right.
