New format for presidential debates
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 10:59 AM by TheCoxwain
We should follow the French on this one ( someone talked about this on NPR - I think it was someone on BBC)


SETUP: Two candidates sitting across a coffee table in a room with no audience ... a few journalists in the background only for the purpose of feeding questions..

Format: Freeform - no time limits - no nothing. Just feed the question and let the two candidates go for it complete with rebuttals and testy exchanges ...


I think that will be Fascinating and MUCH more revealing ..
