ATS Presidential Debate

With the US presidential debate coming in less that a week I thought, "Hey! Why not have a presidential debate here?"
One member gets to be Romney, the other, Obama. Questions are selected and a mod controls the Q&A.

Your thoughts, ATS?

I have to head off to work but will check in later.

Cheers,
beez

I volunteer as coffee runner for the delegates......I wanna be the debate barista girl....

I think it's a good idea you've presented. You do know it will be hotly debated. Who puts the questions together...you?

Beezer,

Stop it with the awesomeness.....gosh, coming up with good ideas and all....making the rest of us look crappy....

For real though, I think it would be a fun and definetly entertaining idea! I can only imagine some of the debate topics....it might get pretty brutal....not sure if that is a good thing or not???

Anyways, keep it fluffy!

Please include all of the presidential candidates....not just Obamney.

The only problem with that is the ATS Romney might actually win the debate.

We should have an ATS election too, odds are Ron Paul wins.

And how do we decide who will represent the candidates?

Hasn't this already been done, somewhat, in the debate forum?

Sorry to rain on it a bit, your fluffiness.

Who in their right mind would want to represent either one of those buffoons?

it's like derp meets herp.

I'll get the beers and cook the meat as soon as 10am hits.

If you don't like your steak still mooing then tell me know - but be warned - no tomato sauce!!!!

Can Aussies be the umpires - you know, impartial and all.............

I would love to see this..............especially if this is what we have to contend with............

Your post is the reason why you should be allowed to star post in this forum.

We could get a thread started just for the questions, and no. I don't pick the questions. Or at least not JUST me. I am partisan, after all.

I expect and encourage brutality.

Thanks for the complements!

Perhaps, but I do want this to mirror the actual debates.

Suggestions?

Not a problem. The debate forum is limited in structure, so I thought this could be expanded.

I'm sure we could find a "candidate" or two.

This proposition could severely undermine my attempts to use bacon as a means of world conquest.... Now I have to revamp my entire strategy....

As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

Until you become our Bacon Overlord, would you be interested in being "that" mod?

It'd be interesting to get some impartial judges.

I would love to play Romney in this mock debate but I’m not moderate enough and I don’t change my opinion on the issues in midstream; I could never pull it off.

Sorry, we need a Romney! I'm sure we'll have plenty of Obama's but can we find a Romney!
