This blog is not going to get very political, but am I the only one who thinks the debates should not be in front of a live studio audience?  Or at the very least have the crowd hold their biased approval or disapproval responses.  Really.  They should bring in nothing but undecided voters who are sitting in their seats actually thinking about the answers and not emotionally reacting to the candidate.

It is obvious the crowd is padded with followers of each candidate.  Kind of like a fan club making requests on radio stations.  It loses its authenticity and becomes disingenuous. 

And let them REALLY debate.
