Who's Up For Three Presidential Debates?

I honestly expected that the President would manage to convince the Commission on Presidential Debates to allow only a single debate. Alas, Lightbringer just doesn't have the juice.

The first [debate], which will focus on domestic policy, is set for Oct. 3 at the University of Denver in Denver, Colo., the city that hosted the 2008 Democratic convention. A second meeting in a town-hall format will take place Oct. 16 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., and the final meeting, focusing on foreign policy, will be held Oct. 22 at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.

On the other hand, whoever our vice presidential candidate turns out to be will only have one chance to smack around Slow Joe in person. That's scheduled for October 11 in Kentucky.

Each debate will have a single moderator. The moderators will be selected at a later date. I'll make some wild-assed guesses, though, and say we'll probably end up with Wolf Blitzer, Diane Sawyer, Gwen Ifill, and Bob Schieffer.

You know who I'd like to see moderating one of these? TV's Andy Levy. He'd be great.
