This was one of the best Kalb Reports I've been to. Very insightful on the first presidential debate 50 years. Sander Vanocur said they had no idea how important or what a precedent it would set. In fact Vanocur said that the hall was empty about 10 minutes after the debate was over. That's a far cry from what happens today.
Also on hand was Bob Schieffer who is one of my favorite correspondents. He's very open and straight forward on his opinions. And you get the very strong impression that he still gets a great deal of delight from his job. All the panelists were asked what their favorite moment was in all of the debates. Schieffer said it was when he was asked to moderate one of them.
Just a truly wondering and informative evening.
