Monday's final 2012 presidential debate.

I have a strong fear that, with Bob Schieffer as moderator, the debate will inch towards anarchy.  I've said it from the beginning, a debate should always be about ideas, not about style points; looking to take control and show strength, both men are going to push the limits of civility.

Schieffer does not have an iron fist.  As we saw this morning, he couldn't even ask tough questions of each side's representatives, let alone control the debate.  I don't think I've ever heard him raise his voice against anyone on TV.  He looks and acts like a patient grandfather, not debate moderator.

It's going to get out of control.
