Important -read before tonight's debate!

[dreamshark]

This is the best list of proposed debate questions I've seen. Enough of that silly idea of coming up with the questions we WISH the candidate would answer. This list is intended for the debate moderator that wants some questions the candidates WILL answer.

Sample question:
"Question 4. Name a foreign government or offshore opinion leader who underestimates the strength, the decency and the perseverance of the American people. How wrong ARE they about us?"

Not that the candidates would stand for it, but I'd love to see the debates "scored" simply in terms of how the questions were answered.

I'd like to see the debates scored in terms of whether the questions were answered.

Well, yes; that's what I meant.

One of the participants might have difficulties with "Name a foreign government or offshore opinion leader."

That's a weird question, the two things are not terribly related.

I don't really think Biden is so ignorant that he won't be able to remember the existence of Canada or Mexico. And of course it's well-known that Sarah Palin has seen Russia. (I hear you can also see Canada from Alaska, but I don't know if she's aware of that.)

Hee. But a waste of time, really. We've already heard those answers. Isn't there some way to get some sodium pentathol into these people and hear what they really think?
