1. Where did you hear that? I know the questions for the town hall

3. Got this off the John Kerry blog

..."
NOW with Bill Moyers: saw the show Fri. nite, was disappointed to find out ALL questions will be known in advance by both candidates. When the League of Women Voters ran the debates the candidates didn't know the questions in advance. "

4. You should assume that....

If the Town hall questions are known...then the other debates will be transparant as well
