I do not understand this thread.
I have not seen a debate where one of the participants got to ask the questions..
Oh, you're right, they hardly ever get the opportunity to ask such a question. However, a good debater MUST be prepared to answer it. Because you never know...
Even if the participants cannot ask questions, the press will be asking Kerry's questions for him, so Bush needs to be prepared for them as though Kerry himself is asking the questions...
Just go with it....
