How about someone who would ask a real question like R Maddow or G Greenwald or even someone off the street who may not realize it but is affected by public policy everyday. You would be sure to stump the cand this way or at least make then think about their answer.

Carole Simpson: Fantastic!
Bingo...partisanship!
Kudos to Ms. Simpson for her career and her involvement in the issues of our time. I saw her at Berkeley in the late 70s and she was fabulous then and remains so. As Mr. Biden would say, she sure is "articulate" and put to shame many others.
Talk about how after that debate cycles no 3rd Party Candidate has been allowed in the debates...jut the 2 headed monster
What about Gwen Ifill, didn't she moderate a debate a few years back?
