35. Shouldn't they wait a bit
until this next round of primaries?

I might agree given 10 days. The bully push is too early.

In my view, they should conduct the debates in long form, let the candidates talk as long as they want to, and then cut them down on an equal time basis to fit the time slot... but leave the full unedited audio version to radio and the transcript to internet.

This would allow the complex truth to come out of the otherwise facile beauty contest of the debate forums. Presidents arn't elected to debate, rather the coherency of their plaform and stances is much more of issue.
