It's been an astounding 20 years since a woman moderated a presidential debate, and many Americans seem ready for change.
It's been an astounding 20 years since a woman moderated a presidential debate, and many Americans seem ready for change.
So far, more than 90,000 people have joined a campaign on Change.org asking the Commission on Presidential Debates to include at least one female moderator in one of the three 2012 debates between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
The campaign was started by three New Jersey high school sophomores as part of a school project. When Emma Exelrod, Sammi Siegel and Elena Tsemberis learned that two decades had passed since ABC News' Carole Simpson moderated a presidential debate in 1992, the girls took to the web to call for change.
