Who would sponsor the unmoderated debate Hillary is asking for?
Honestly, I don't care if they ahve it or not. If they have it, I'll watch it. But all the past debates have been sponsored by a network or cable combany, haven't they? Obviously the moderator(s) were from the sponsor. If there is no moderator, is Hillary assuming at least some networks will aire it?

3. The only reason to have one is for some network to sell ads during the thing.

9. But they already do that. If you watched the other debates, you know
there have been ads. There weren't as many as you have to watch on your "favorite TV show" but they did take at least 2 breaks I think.

13. The way the suits think, the more the better.
These campaigns are big business for the media outlets. That's were most of our donations seem to go.

4. the Republican National Committee seems keen on keeping up the charade
of a "real" contest in the Dem Primary. They should sponsor it.

16. Yeah and then she'd take the ball, punch him in the stomach and sit on him or something like that.
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 10:23 PM by dkf
and say the winner is the person who held the ball the longest.

15. Anybody Hillary wants because she'll be there by HERSELF!
Her living room should be fine as a stage. She won't have to travel and she can start getting used to the familiar surroundings.

21. NO ONE CARES
I say she shows up at the local Piggly Wiggly parking lot at midnight and holds a debate with herself. God knows she's been on the both sides of most issues often enough she could probably argue herself to a tie.
