I see Schieffer (CBS) was named a moderator.
Way to go James Baker....you've done an excellent job...boy am I glad your on our team!!!
I hope they are on before 10 oclock because I go to bed at 10
Bush uses Kerry again
Monotonous isn't it
I wish they'd get Big Russ
I'll say it again: James Baker is our Tom Hagen. Bravo Consigliere!
Note that the first debate is on foreign policy.
Somehow I have this image of James Baker looking like the big bad wolf inviting Kerry into his chamber with the words: "All the better to set you up for the big October Surprise - Come right on in".
In October we can look forward to Tommy Franks campaigning for Bush, the start of Saddam's trial and the Libya WMD report at a minimum and if Karl Rove doesn't have something else up his sleeve I will shocked, shocked.
ALL MODS LOOK TO LIBS!!!!! STUPID!
I don't know if you meant your post straight or with scarcasm, but I don't see where Baker did any good in these negotiations. I don't see what the President gets out of them. We still have all Democrat hack "journalists" as moderators, we still have three instead of two debates, with that stupid "town hall" one still on the schedule. And Kerry gets to demogogue on domestic issues in the last one just before the elections.
The fonts are Courier and Courier-Bold. (TrueType, Windows).
Is Baker trying to send a subliminal message?
Personally, I think events will outweigh the debates.
October could be one hot month for Americans.
Prior to the start of the debate, audience members
will be asked to submit their questions in writing to
the moderator. No third party, including both the
Commission and the campaigns, shall be permitted to
see the questions. The moderator shall approve and
select all questions to be posed by the audience
members to the candidates. The moderator shall ensure
that the audience members pose to the candidates an
equal number of questions on foreign policy and
homeland security on the one hand and economic and
domestic policy on the other. The moderator will
further review the questions and eliminate any
questions that the moderator deems inappropriate.
STOOOPID , Jimmy, you are old
I dont understand why more are not outraged by the deck being stacked with libs and the townhall format where obviously biased questions will be asked.
Mark it.
The first debate is the one that really matters, and it will be fought on Bush's turf. Kudos to Baker for that one!
It looks like a wide open debate as there are only so many possible questions to prepare for. Canned answers. It should be a dull affair and I still believe events in October will determine who gets elected.
They rule is that there are three debates, including townhall.
Libs are moderators and they get to decide which questions from the audience are inappropriate. Why do we always lets ourselves get setup.
Two debates would allow more time for the campaign trail and just being president.
The first debate always gets the highest level of viewership, and that debate is on a strength.
There are only so many possible questions and they can prepare for them.
Don't underestimate Baker or Bush.
Some people don't like that one, but I wonder if Kerry will be able to handle himself interacting with the commoners. It's not like Bush is going up against a schmoozer like Clinton.
