Would it be too much to have a 3 to 2 hour presidential debate devoted

[RB TexLa]

exclusively to foreign policy?

[MrSlayer]

1. Not for me.

But for the general public probably not.

[charlyvi]

2. Of the three presidential debates,

I think one usually is devoted to foreign policy.

[1-Old-Man]

3. To call them debates at all is dam near a travesty.

No probing questions are asked by the modertors, no attempt is made to present or defend an argument, nothing at all is done to cause one of the "debaters" to stay on subject or to answer the questions asked. Its a farce.

4. I was thinking with moderators from the CFR instead of the people who read the news on TV

[Solomon]

5. It won't matter what the moderators do. Obama will

use the occasion to butcher Romney. Obama will control. He knows how to pivot from a nonquestion, to java, hooks, crosses and body blows.

Don't care nothing about the moderators. I would care if it was Limbaugh, Hannity,and O'Reily.

7. You think Wolf Blitzer would be any better?

[Solomon]

12. LOL

No. Let 'em bring the bullshit. Obama will handle it.

6. Would you want to listen to rm0ney for an hour? In ten minutes

he will have said all he has to say. Then he will start repeating himself.

I admit, watching the president mop up the floor with him might be entertaining for the first half hour, but it would quickly degenerate and rm0ney would be sniveling heap of jello. Not fun to watch.

[JI7]

8. no, but ROmney would never agree to it

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. It is scheduled, but I think they are 90 minutes.

1. October 3, 2012 and the topic will be domestic policy.

2. October 11, 2012, and it will be the one vice presidential debate. The topic will be foreign and domestic policy.

3. October 16, 2012. This presidential debate will be of the town meeting format and will include debates regarding foreign and domestic policy.

4. October 22, 2012. The topic will be foreign policy.

(Not a fan of the examiner, but this is dates/topics, not opinion. There are other sources that Google brought back for the schedule).

10. With a TV newsreader moderating? And questions from the public?

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. Not sure - but the 3rd debate is town hall style

so yes, that one will definitely have questions from the public. I haven't seen the moderator assignment as yet. Maybe someone else has that information?

[RB TexLa]

14. I'd like to see the CFR moderate it. And be much longer. I don't care about the ones on domestic

policy.

[longship]

11. I want one devoted entirely to education and science policy.

We're talking about the future of our country -- no, the world.

There are many others on this issue. It started over four years ago.
