Debatable

This fellow at Big Think suggests, as many people have done before, a different format for a presidential debate than the mostly shallow and media-driven showpieces that we've been watching for many years.

It's not necessarily a bad idea, but I'm not optimistic that a country that made stars out of the people on The Jersey Shore is a country that's serious enough to pay that much attention to in-depth discussion of political issues.
