1. Probably
They should include Gravel. At least then we may get a liberal voice.

3. what I want for a debate - the former candidates ask the questions
Biden asks foreign policy and national security questions
Dodd asks economic and education questions
Edwards asks social policy questions
Kucinich asks civil liberties questions
Richardson asks energy questions
Gravel asks questions on whatever

or something like that.

19. And no going on to the next question until the present one is actually fucking answered.
And answered fully.

No tangents about their families, no circumlocutions to make the question about some other entirely different issue or idea, no sound bites - the candidate will fucking stand there until the questioner is satisfied that the question has actually been answered.

I wish that was a requirement for all debates. And its lack is why I don't watch debates.

14. It will be calm and reasonable
I really don't expect any fireworks. I do, however, expect lots of nods in John Edwards' direction.
