The last debate

Okay, we know, basically, what each presidential candidates' political philosophy is from their responses given in the first two debates. The last debate should be different, but also built around their given answers. The last debate should be designed to challenge the political and/or economic assumptions each candidate made in forming their previous answers.

The question is, how to accomplish this task?

I propose that there should be actually three debate moderators. The chief moderator will be Schieffer. His job will be to go back over the first two debates and gather the questions designed to bring out the candidates' vision, proposals, and goals if he was elected president.

The other two moderators will be from the left and right, perhaps Huffington, representing the left, and Hannity, representing the right -- or perhaps Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly if you wanted to kick it up a knotch.

These two moderators will be given the questions in advance, along with the contestants' previous answers. Their job is to draw up follow-up questions to Schieffer posed queestion, based on any weaknesses and fallacies in the given record.

Once the debate is opened. Schieffer will pose the question relevant to each contestant. The answer will be given, and the corresponding second-tire moderator who represnts the "opposit" political persuasion will have a chance to challenge the response in their follow up question.

The questions should not be given to the contestants before the debate.

What say you?
