The Contestants:
Presidential Candidates: Barack Obama, [[D) vs. Mitt Romney, [[R)
VP Candidates: Joe Biden, [[D) vs. Paul Ryan, [[R)

*Gary Johnson will be left out of the debates because he did not meet minimum polling requirements [[i.e.: the Dems and Reps have a deal to keep third parties out).

This is the official thread to propose questions that both candidates should be asked, debate on what answers they give or fail to give, words or phrases or concepts or talking points they repeat over and over like a broken record, and critique of their overall debate performance.

To get this topic started, I have linked an article from Politico that outlines 10 questions the candidates should be asked.
