God, it would be terrible if the sanctity of Presidential debates was destroyed by the introduction of fre-fabbed, rehearsed talking points.

Perhaps if they did allow them to bring in notes, it would improve the substance.

Gingrich in 2007, "I don't care if they bring a binder". The problem is that in this Dancing with the Stars world, Torie debating anvik wouldn't make for good TV or keep an interested audience long.

No kidding!  Open-book test.  Awesome.  Bring your advisors too.

Oh sorry, somewhere I got the idea they were "debating issues". Forgive me, I forgot that this is tail and pony show about optics, substanceless talking points and looking to see who has the biggest gaffe or memory fail. Roll Eyes

I mean damn it, it says something that we are designing and orchestrating these stupid debates with High Midterm/College Final mentality. How ridiculous! These men are both Harvard Grads, we don't need to test their intellect on public television, we need to find out how they plan to save the country. If they are stupid, they won't be able to hide it no matter how much supporting documentation they bring.
