There's
a plan in place, but it doesn't mean it will actually happen:
CNN's Anderson Cooper will moderate the first Democratic presidential debate this week, and unlike the previous Republican debate hosted by CNN, Cooper said he won't be encouraging confrontations between the candidates.
"I'm always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote some sort of a face off," Cooper said Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "Look, these are all serious people. This is a serious debate. They want to talk about the issues and I want to give them an opportunity to do that."
Two observations:
- I'm sure Hillary Clinton doesn't want confrontations. I'm not so sure that Martin O'Malley and Jim Webb will feel the same way.
- Lincoln Chafee isn't a serious person.

what is not serious is any debate from the past 40 yrs.
Well, if Cooper wants them to be truly comfortable he should have Candy Crowley sit next to him and feed the candidates their lines when they get lost.
Maybe it should be hosted by Rather and Mapes.....might as well take the veil off the bias, no?
