I still think that there should be a debate between the top three candidates of each party. Moderators from Fox and CNN. Each question put to the candidates need to be answered by “ALL” candidates and the candidates should not be shown the questions prior to the debate. The questions should be handled by a top security organization and handed to the moderators, one at a time.
I seems crazy that people only get to see the top candidate from each party debate each other. I would much prefer to see three from each party at the same debate. This could be a three hour show. And, don’t let the candidates side step the questions. A third moderator could be employeed to determine if the question was answered. If not, ask it again.
What are you some kind rebel?
Get back in line.

I’m in favor of ANY debate format that gives us a chance to see how the candidates compare head-to-head, without the obfuscating layer of the “kingmaker-entertainer” press between us and them.
Your idea certainly has merit.
Also, the way the French do presidential debates (little or no moderator involvement, no time limit, they are free to talk all over each other if they wish, etc.) is kinda cool.
Somehow or another, though, we have to get the media jackasses out of the picture!
You just eliminated HRC.
Not that that is a bad thing, by any means. :)
RC2,
I love that and it makes so much sense and will allow everyone to make a better decision. Why I think you should run for office...you are smarter than every candidate so far that I have seen.
Top three of each party? All six on one dais? That would be GREAT!
What a great idea.
Go ahead and put fencing around it and make it a cage match. Last survivor wins. Six men enter, one man leaves.
Seriously, a debate like that, especially with only a moderator who doesn’t ask questions, would be good for the country.
