He could but he won’t. Mitt plays it safe. Mitt will do the conventional.

Bite-me will not be on the ticket . . . he'll drop off due to, oh, say health problems or whatever. Hitlery, who's been having lots of Spackle and putty jobs on her face these past few years will ride to the rescue of the ticket.

Ryan's moderator is the last woman listed. He won't be able to throw politeness out. In fact, it worked best with Newt when there was a male moderator, he got poor reviews if there was a woman even on FR. How's that for double-standards?

Jim Lehrer will have hosted 11 presidential debates in 6 successive election cycles, going back 20 years. That hardly seems reasonable. NBC is almost never included with Brokaw in 2008 being a rare exception, FOX doesn't exist as far as these debates go.

Bob Schieffer is another repeat from 2008 (and 2004) but at least we don't have the situation of 2008 where one of the moderators has a book coming out on a candidate as we saw with Gwen Ifill.

Something else not pointed out, New York audiences get another crack at asking questions as they did in 2008. They had the third debate with Schieffer, this time they have the 2nd debate with Crowley.

There's a truly awful slate of moderators and a poor regional mix of debate hosts. Kentucky has it's second debate in three cycles. Missouri had two debates, 2004 and 2008. Florida is back from 2004. Do we really have so few states that THREE account for hosting half the past dozen presidential debates? It's a sham.

I already know all the debate outcomes. The LMSM network chorus will claim barry and plugs won them, even if they don’t show up.

Wouldn’t Hitlery’s face make a train take a dirt road. You could hang your car keys on her upper lip wart.

It certainly would. I think the evil corroding her insides has caused her to age faster than most normal people. She doesn't have the youth to mask it any longer. One look, and you see exactly what she is.

Not even Dumbocrats are going to vote for that. She knows that her last shot was in 2008, even if paranoid Freepers don't.

Resurrecting an old thread as it's still relevant. Error on the main thread as to the date of the VP Debate. Here's the schedule;
