That was the weakest reasoning by a news organization that I've heard in quite some time. Think Out Loud is a talk show, not a good forum for debate. If the Senate campaign is as important as was just explained on air, then voters would benefit from similar questions being asked both candidates with each given the "less-than-an-hour" format just described. No debate should ever be conducted in under an hour.

A good interviewer is much better than some false debate. OPB got it wrong this time.
