God, it would be terrible if the sanctity of Presidential debates was destroyed by the introduction of fre-fabbed, rehearsed talking points.
Perhaps if they did allow them to bring in notes, it would improve the substance.
Gingrich in 2007, "I don't care if they bring a binder".
No kidding! Open-book test. Awesome. Bring your advisors too.
Oh sorry, somewhere I got the idea they were "debating issues". Forgive me, I forgot that this is tail and pony show about optics, substanceless talking points and looking to see who has the biggest gaffe or memory fail. 
Yeah, let's talk about this monster named Romney who wants to see babies and seniors suffer on the streets. Then when the monster does not show up in a substantive debate, let's twist "I love Big Bird" into "Big Bird, You're Fired!"
Liberals cling to an image of Romney that is merely a figment of their imagination (an image that they were fooled into believing because of clever work by Obama's ruthless Chicago guys). Meanwhile, America burns while Nero just reads his teleprompter...
