“Several (a lot, actually) on FR advocate that talkshow hosts, like Rush, Hannity, Levin should moderate the debates.

I have great doubt that they would be that wonderful as debate moderators. I have heard too many of them, too many times, literally melt in fascination and awe when prominent politician figures show up on their programs to be interviewed. Those hosts turn into junior high school giddy little girls, guffawing at the being the presence of greatness.”

Somebody finally NAILED this. They choke.

yes, they did such a great job interviewing Rubio on his immigration bill.

My take is that the 2016 primary is ~ 3 years away so RNC Priebus feels safe throwing this nonsense out there to suck up to them(Rush, Hannity, Levin), Rubio style. His main concern is 2014 and getting out the vote.

Rush already responded as expected, that the job doesnt pay enough for him,

Its sort of depressing that too many rally around nonsense still.
