Bob Schieffer of CBS News, the moderator of tonight's final debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, has some suggestions for revising the debate format. I covered a speech he made in 2004 at a Commonwealth Club event in Palo Alto soon after he moderated one of the debates between George Bush and John Kerry. At such events, audience members write their questions on cards and the host reads them to the speaker. Schieffer was asked my question, "Should the debate rules be changed so that..." and before the host could finish the question, Schieffer said, "Yes."
