    If Blitzer gets to moderate, I'll be very annoyed.

    When you check the wiki for the Democratic debates they have 3 listed, on the 21st, 26th, and 28th. Are we confirmed back down to two again?

    If Anderson doesn't moderate this debate there will be nerd rage. On the internets.

    Don't they typically alternate between Cooper and Blitzer?

    I'm bored of debates. It's like making out with your high school girlfriend. Yeah, it's fun, but you don't get what you want. Hillary never directly spouts off all the shit that Bill or her campaign staff ever fucks up and says out loud. Barack never calls her on the fact that she's an underhanded bitch.

    They just talk about the slight differences in their otherwise identical policies while Wolf Blitzer makes us all feel worse about existing in this universe.

    I don't ever remember Cooper moderating a democratic debate, not in recent memory anyways.

    The last 2 Dem debates were straight Blitzer while the Republicans got Cooper.

    Doesn't matter. At worse, she'll be a reasonably attractive Wolf Blitzer. Which is better than the regular Wolf Blitzer, which would be like having sex with a leather chair wrapped in steel wool.

    Hot-as-balls* Campbell Brown to mod? Nice!

    * - nickname given to her from a DC radio station when she was the white-house correspondent. While I wouldn't go quite that far, she's definately easy on the eyes...

    "Day 1" or "Experience" would probably be workable for a drinking game.
