1. It would be smart... Have him come out tomorrow and say, lets have a real debate on the issues.
It would be great.

2. Anybody except a "journalist" would be good.
Spongebob Squarepants would have been a better moderator.

9. There's not enough time left now, but I've always thought we should have 1-issue debates.
Have a debate on healthcare. Moderators would be from an agreed-upon list of experts in the field and healthcare professionals.

...and similar debates/moderators for all of the major issues.


Flip a coin to see who goes first and rotate the order in which candidates are asked the questions. Both candidates address the same questions.


Why do we let paid political pundits create a show and call it a debate?

11. This is a great idea and I like all the suggestions.
I'd like to watch that debate. Or some version of it. Let the candidates choose the moderators. Or maybe a debate between Charlie Gibson and George, and Obama and Clinton get to ask them questions about the mainstream media and why it's so stupid.
