Heard Russ talking about this yesterday and for the life of me I cant understand why anyone would agree to this "moderator" line up.

Jim Lehrer of PBS, Candy Crowley of CNN, Bob Schieffer of CBS, and Martha Raddatz of ABC (VP debate).

Someone needs to have their ass kicked.

They should at least team them up with some Fox people, but I'm not going to worry about it. Unless they are going to provide Obama with the answers to the questions, (which they might), it's going to be him that gets his ass kicked.

Seems yo be liming up just as I predicted, there would be a minimum of three debates, the first would be an all lib panel and the questions very carefully selected to make Hussein not look too stupid.
He will get his ass kicked, the MSM will spin it to look as if he debated like JFK.

This will be the only debate, because it was the only one that the left could control, you can expect a litany of excuses, from racial tension, (which they created) to gearing up for war.

This is my prediction, that is, unless they can convince mitt to accept format changes where Hussein can use secret teleprompter glasses or ear piece or something.

I expected the moderator panel to be very skewed, I know I am "young", but I don't remember the last time it wasn't.

The VP debate will go one of two ways:
Biden will blame Bush roughly %40
then he will blame the republican house for stifling their attempts at change %49 of the time,
Biden will mention how obama killed Osama,
panel says Biden is victor.

Biden will get questions like "how do you feel about kittens?"
Ryan will get questions so abstract that it leaves both panel and audience like this 
panel says Biden is victor.

As much as I wish they would make it more like a mental brawl, that wouldn't be "fair".

The veep debate should be good.

Obama will get the questions before hand. Not a doubt in my mind. They have to prep Biden, or Ryan will make mince meat out of him. It's to bad Ryan isn't debating Obama, he would expose every fiscal lie he's told.

It won't matter if they get the questions before hand. They've got nothing good to say about their record. If Romney and Ryan stay on point............................Obama and Biden will be toast. The media cannot save them.

I think something will "come up" to allow them to cancel the V.P. debate. Maybe some kind of "scheduling conflict", or, perhaps, something that Mr Biden just has to attend to - a sick dog or something like that. Especially if Obama is down in the poles.

Either that or they will schedule it across from something very popular on another network which will ensure that the debate gets very low ratings.

Obama can't afford to let Biden get his ass handed to him, and that is exactly what will happen when (if) he debates Ryan!

Ryan will be playing chess and Biden will be playing checkers (and doing so rather badly).

Checkers? You give the man too much credit. Everyone know he's playing Candyland. 

Like Romney didn't notice the applause Gingrich got when he attacked the media? He doesn't mind the moderators because he's going for their throats - and it's easier if the public knows they're biased.
