The next moderator in a series of what have been exclusive, poorly run inadequate debates is Wolf Blitzer. Two things to note and then this thread is open to you. What do you knowing Blitzer expect of him?

::::::::

1) This video

It talks about the U.S. military is the largest consumer of energy or gas and oil. It looks at the cost of this consumption to the American taxpayer. And so, my hope is that it will be put the Democratic candidates who being Democrats are expected to be anti- The Iraq War and a future war with Iran the question: Have any of you considered a plan to fight energy problems in this country by ending the Iraq war and any other future wars in the Middle East?

There is an answer to this question that one of the candidates has repeatedly mentioned. I want to see Obama or Clinton put on the spot and forced to respond to this notion of wars being part of our energy problems.

2) This exchange 

My hope is that what he said is followed up on. However, there is that possibility that every month they grant Ralph Nader a visit to the studio just to appease him. And then it's business as usual once he exits the building. 

I believe in optimism. And because I believe in optimism, I believe in pointing out when leaders who should be on our side have let us down. Blitzer is in a position to do so much for this race. If he chooses to make this a bit more interesting than Hillary vs. Barack or how Republicans are afraid of Hillary or want to run against Hillary, I would be eternally grateful.
