I'm curious what DUers think.
I think he normally would be passive and polite. But in light of Lehrer's doormat style, I think he may want to put an old school journalistic cap on a decades long career. He'd be 79 at the next debate and he just might ask Mitt about his hidden stash-o-cash in this final big show.
Will he face the wrath of the Right and ask about Mitt's taxes?

They never stay on topic anyway. Rethugs just launch into talking points. We bring books to knife fights and say "please".
Here's a fun one-
Joe Trippi called Harry Reid "as mean and Machiavellian as you can get" for calling Robnme out on sending cash outside the country:

It will be a great debate if Bob goes out with some integrity.
