    Just want to note that CNN has done a commendable job w/ the debates they have hosted so far. We are impressed w/ the facilitator's "fair and balanced" questioning and management. Keep up the good work.

    This is already becoming a debate between Romney and Gingrich. If this continues, you will once again lose the opportunity to have a good debate. Give equal time. Not so much to ask.
