a proposal for further debates
we have been debated out as a whole.
when i was younger, the League of Women Voters used to sponser a series of debates.
they were in charge of the debate,location,questions,and moderators
and these debates served to truly inform the voting public as to the candidates shortcomings and strong suits
the League refused this duty as the different campaigns made demands that the League could not agree to meet

so my proposal is this

Pay per view debates
run by the League

this frees those of us no longer willing to change our minds from being bombarded by it and allows those who love the debate itself to see a real debate
and it could be a usefull fundraising tool also
but allow the viewer to pick which debater gets the pay per view payoff for their viewership

2. It would not be fair to low-income voters.
For that matter, in this economy, it would be unfair to most voters.
