1. I think his style is not letting them get away with anything

4. He's doing a good job.
He doesn't let the candidate ramble on off issue.

6. Just like he did with Bush when he had that exclusive? Let's see if he does "scandals" with the R's.
I predict his Repub debate moderating will consist of much bowing and scraping, and "as you please, sir" "no, you first sir" air kisses. MKJ

3. Good point. I think he thinks he's on MTP

Usually a debate moderator is neutral. Someone like Jim Lehrer does it well in my view.

He's bound to get some gaffes out with his style though...which is good, I guess.

5. What's wrong with this format?
These candidates need to get beat up over some of their BS and double talk.

Are you offended that he followed-up with Hillary when she was ducking, bobbing, and weaving?

11. I thought Russert was one of the candidates
Tim loves the sound of his voice more than Biden loves his.
