I followed that one and i agree.

Hi Jean,
More like an argument than a debate. The "moderator" joined the Obama
side, to no one's surprise.
Republican Bob Schieffer will mediate the final debate, Monday.
#-------------------------------
Excerpt:
The format for the debate will be similar to the one Lehrer presided
over in Denver on Oct. 3 — the 90 minutes divided into six 15-minute
segments. Lehrer has announced they will center on: America's Role in
the World; Our Longest War -- Afghanistan and Pakistan; Red Lines --
Israel and Iran; the Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism
-- I; the Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism – II; and
the Rise of China and Tomorrow's World.
That’s the broad outline. Count on Schieffer to throw some interesting
curves to put the candidates on the spot.
