We should start a petition to not have him host a debate.

In any case, why do real debaters need a “moderator”?

Let the candidates take turns making an assertion, the other rebuts, then cross-examination. There just needs to be a timekeeper.

So, you are looking for a ROBOT MODERATOR!!!!!

What is good for the middle class is most assuredly good for ‘journalism’. Guy goes over his time, his mike gets cut off and the camera goes somewhere else.

As for the questions, post them prior to the debate. Let everyone know what they are going to be ahead of time.

Then let them talk.

Failing that, put a general, a small business owner, an accountant, a plumber, a CEO, a teacher, a lawyer, and an economist (definitely not the same as an accountant) into a room and let them come up with the questions. You have to use AT LEAST ONE of everyone’s questions, and not more than 3.

No, no, no! That is SO closed minded, reactionary!

Let Stewart host....er...Co-host the debate.

He gets to ask one question and his co-host, Thomas Sowell, gets the next.

Be sure to wear your rain suits and bring umbrellas to the debate. Liberal heads will be exploding all over the place.
