Except for the last month, with three president ial debates and one vicepresident ial debate. 70 million watched the first and 60 million watched each of the other three. Only the super bowl did better than that. In 11 of the last 14 debates, there have been these debates and they are a fixed feature of the political landscape.

To my left, bob schieffer, anchor of face the nation and an author and winner of many journalism awards, and Martha Raddatz, the chief Global Affairs correspondent. She spent a lot of time in iraq and afghanistan and winner of many prizes for h
