About those debates
Baker & Rove will do the proper manipulations to ensure that the minimum of debates occur. The excuse of the president being a very busy man will be the manna cry.

As a citizen, do I deserve to know the format of these debates?

- Do the candidates know the questions in advance?
- Will the candidates be able to ask each other questions?
- Will the candidates questions to each other be known in advance?
- Do the candidates have any influence on the questions from the moderators?
- Who chooses the media people who moderate the debates.


Somehow the debates have become a mystery to us citizens. A 20 debate format is what I'd like to see. Not some super rehearsed spotlighted infomercial. We need to see these Men together, debating and fighting for hours & hours, with barely perceptible moderation.
