Retro debate style tonight. I like it!

I was barely born when the first Kennedy/Nixon debates took place in 1960, but this debate tonight reminds me of the historic videos of that debate. No audience, simple moderation. I think this brings out the candidates real personalities without having to pander to a live audience. Perhaps this is the way all of them should be done in the future.

Although I didn't watch it that had to be better than having 10 or more people in the earlier debates.

I agree. It's far better without the distraction of a studio audience.

The next step is doing the debate without going in to a studio.

Funny, I just logged in here to make the same observation. The debate was much less theatrical and far more informative. I'd like to see more like this.
