No, this was not the worst debate in history. Not even close. Already the pundits are playing smackdown with each other for whining about tough questions at debates (as well they should).

As for Olbermann being too partisan for NBC to put him on the debate moderation team?

Think again.

MSNBC's first ever Olbermann-moderated debate (Aug 7, 2007) averaged less than one million viewers, and was the lowest rated debate of the 2007 political season.

NBC has also put Hardball's Chris Matthews on the debate beat.

It is ridiculous.

Why can't we go back to League of Women Voters debates? Those actually meant something to voters.
