  1. OT and for the record, the moderators from CBS News have been announced for the NEXT debate (not tonight’s):

    “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King will moderate the debate, joined in questioning by “Face the Nation” moderator and senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett and “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker.

    Le sigh…

    Good Lord – it looks like a family tree with the kids in the middle and cave paintings of their ancestors on the outside.

    Maybe we could at least have only candidates who were born after electric lighting became commonplace?
