Wednesday afternoon, the Commission on Presidential Debates quietly posted a press release announcing the topics for the first presidential debate in Denver on October 3. What the commission didn't say is that this may be the first time in history presidential candidates have been given the topics of a debate ahead of time.
"We had been thinking about this for awhile," says CPD executive director Janet Brown. "CPD's intention is to have the candidates come prepared for a more in-depth conversation."
But some say the release of topics sets a bad precedent.
Though specific questions were not given, debate moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS NewsHour announced the topics of the questions on the commission Web site, saying that three questions will be on the economy, one on health care, one on the role of government and one on governing.

This is being done to protect Obama, who is dumb as a post and ignorant to boot, a condition he does nothing to remedy.
It’s a pity Romney is such a dull speaker. I’d like to see somebody like Newt Gingrich tear apart Mr. Teleprompter.
Of course, this will help the Boy President because he can’t function without TOTUS. He told Letterman he didn’t know what the national debt was. So naturally, they will have the ventriloquist’s dummy ready to blab his way through the pre-digested questions.
Were I Romney, I’d ask if I could follow up with a question or two. What could the Leftist media hack in charge have to say about that? It would look bad to say, “No you can’t because the Bamster hasn’t had time to rehearse his answers to any questions other than the ones we handed out.”
That question will fall under any or all four categories. :)
It matters not what the questions will be and if barry has them ahead of time - the little twit will have an ear piece shoved so far into his ear canal feeding him all the answers/sound bites the mope could never give on his own.
I do not believe a single solitary ‘ummm, uhhh, aaaaannnnd’ that comes out of his pie hole.
Heck, he'll probably be given the answers in advance too!
There’s no doubt in my mind that Obama wouldn’t have had the questions ahead of time anyway.
His handlers and MSM collaborators would have made sure of that. Money, favors or promises would’ve traded hands...the deal would’ve been done.
Just because Obummer got the questions does not mean he did not also get the answers. He needs all the help he can get.
