this is a great idea and here's why: people would watch. viewership for presidential debates is usually pretty low, considering the importance. millions of new people would watch a debate if Jon Stewart was moderating.

The first republican debate drew a record 24 million viewers. Pretty good.

I guess Stewart would bring in the giggity crowd, if they have the night off from the Barnes&Noble snack shack.

Only because a former reality-show host was on stage the entire time. Which effectively proves the point that was being made in regards to Jon Stewart's ability to get high ratings.
