What we'd like to see in tonight's debate

In a perfect world:
I think you could say that about any topic, frankly.
The article by Harold Pollack has a list of important questions about health care, but from what I have gathered so far anything they say will be interpreted by the media as a brutal attack on President Obama so they might want to avoid even mentioning that Obamacare could possibly be improved by some tiny little tweaks. (It's an open question as to whether VP Biden would be held to the same standard.)
Anyway, good discussion of health care here. It would actually be really refreshing to have debates about single big subjects and let the candidates go deep. But that probably wouldn't get the kind of ratings that the Donald Trump freak-show talking about how ugly Rosie O'Donnell do. And that's what this is all about.
But you never know. That Martin O'Malley looks like he could be quite the loose cannon.
