1) On the TV earlier today they said that Biden won the coin toss and will be asked the first question, and he will be sitting on the 'left'.
2) During the last debate CNN put the squiggly focus group lines at the bottom of their screen.
I read earlier that C-Span 1 will have a full screen, and C-Span 2 will have a split screen.
3) Paul Ryan wants to be called 'mister' instead of 'congressman' by the 'moderator': http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251133480

(2,921 posts)1. As to #3 - request denied.
Biden should call him Congressman Ryan every single beat.
Not "Mr. Ryan".

Goes without saying. He is a Congressman, and that is an appropriate designation.
If it were me...well...they probably wouldn't allow use of the terms that *I* would consider appropriate designation for Congressman Ryan.
Shithead?
