11. Schieffer is hit and miss

Sometimes he makes sense and asks good questions, other times he lets Republicans get away with too much crap and he can sometimes slip into banal false equivalency "both sides are wrong". The cons tend to hate him for the times he makes sense.

Given that he's 75 and this will likely be his final debate before retirement, my guess is that he's going to want to be pointed in his cross examination. My only concern is that he'll feel the need to bring up GOP talking points against Obama just to be "fair".
