Challenge The Candidates During The Debates
The next two Presidential debates will be pivotal in the minds of thousands of undecided voters. I believe the moderators of the next two debates, Candy Crowley and Bob Schieffer, should be active participants in the debate process. They should be able to follow up both candidates' responses and point out discrepancies between the candidates' answers to the debate questions and their campain stance on those same issues.
Why is this important?
We have now witnessed two crucial debates for the highest elected offices of the United States of America: one for President, the other, Vice President. Pols and partisans alike have decried one candidate or the other of exaggerating, dodging and flatly lying to the American people about their positions. The moderators also have been held to differing expectations based upon the candidates' campaign ideologies.
If We The People are to make a sound, informed decision to vote between President Obama and Governor Romney, we deserve to have factual information presented to us during these debates.
