Seriously. They're all adults, and so are the people watching. They and we can handle it.

1. Debate rules are infuriating sometimes,
and I suspect the networks water then down even further.

2. Because it isn't anything remotely resembling a real debate.

3. Oh, that's right.
It might interfere with Williams ability to recite all his rightwing talkingpoints.

4. It's not a debate, it's a slightly glorified press conference.
How can you debate with eight people? Better that MSNBC give each candidate a half hour one on one interview.
