I guess not. Typical Liberal.

I am confident they will be fair. I guess you didn't know...sm - VTMT

that the moderators don't pick the questions they just ask them and rule on the time limits.

I guess you're not familiar with how they work. - Sigh

I stand by my statement that the moderators...sm - VTMT

do NOT choose the questions.

Further explanation of the duties of a debate moderator:

Introduce Debaters
At the start of a debate, the moderator must introduce both parties by name. He must have background information about each debater, including educational accomplishments, awards, and the organization the debater represents. Once the introductions are finished, the debate moderator must lay down the rules, such as time limitations for responses, and then give the floor to the first debater.

End Petty Arguments
The nature of a debate is to present arguments, but sometimes the discussion gets out of hand. For instance, if the debaters start to call each other names or throw insults, the moderator must step in and admonish each offender. This helps keep the debate from going off-topic and devolving into a fruitless war of words. It is important for the moderator to be impartial when moderating the discussion and handling petty arguments between debaters.

Redirect Discussion
It is not uncommon for a debater to go on a tangent when discussing his point. If he manages to integrate a slightly off-topic point with his main point that's fine, but if he stays off-topic that's a problem and could degrade the quality of the debate. If the debate moderator feels that the discussion is going too far off of the topic, she can interject and redirect the discussion by either asking the person to return to his original point or moving on to the other party's response.

Monitor
One key duty of a debate moderator is to watch the clock during a debate. If a debater goes over his time limit, the moderator must interrupt and give the floor to the other side. The moderator must firmly ask each debater to respect time limitations if it is a recurring problem.

I didn't say they choose the questions. - Sigh.

Not the other poster, - but I can answer that.

Nothing of significance. It's just the latest noise coming out of the Lamebaugh echo chamber. He's been trying to bully the debate moderators into playing hardball with Biden and Obama while "going easy" on Ryan and Romney to "prove" they aren't biased. Naturally he's explicitly singled out one of the females, CNN's Candy Crowley, to be on the receiving end of the brunt of his senseless babble, but he's got plenty of his special brand of slime to spew all over the rest of them as well.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. "Sigh."

Just chock full of political knowledge, as usual. - Good grief

Are you? Unbelievable that you would label someone... - oldtimer

as being a communist because they were looking forward to the debates? Grow up for God's sake. How old are you 10?

No label, just a legitimate question. Reading 101. - nm

OK. I'll bite. Why is someone looking forward to the debates - a communist?

Don't hurt yourself trying to come up with another clever slam. It's just a simple legitimate question. Answer, please.

I second that - nm
