I didn't catch the Russert moderation this past debate but I've heard nothing good about it... by contrast, I thoroughly enjoyed Anderson Cooper's moderation three or four debates ago. The people who watch debates are not the sort of people who want soundbyte politics, yet that's exactly what Russert and his ilk revel in - it's no wonder they receive negative responses every single time.
