Why do conservatives and Republicans constantly agree to debates where all the moderators are liberal democrats?

It happens at the Presidential level when you have guys like Jim Lehrer, Bob Schieffer, and Tom Brokaw doing debates. Or Gwen Ifill, who wrote a book about how historic Obama is moderating the VP debate. Even in the GOP Primary in 2007/8 they were doing debates on CNN, MSNBC, etc... This debate has a guy from NPR, some liberal from a San Francisco paper, and a hispanic activist. All three of them are clearly voting for Boxer. Will the next debate feature some rich guy from Orange County, a tea party leader from Inland, and some conservative talk radio host?

Conservatives need to insist on more balance in debates.

That said, I thought Fiorina did fine. I don’t know if this really changed anything, but she held her ground. I think the result will come down to the overall mood of the country and the economy in 2 months time. If it’s still this bad, Boxer is in big trouble. Also, I think if Meg Whitman can start to open up a nice lead she could help Fiorina out as I think people see the two of them as somewhat of a package deal.
