Dave, The media have done this kind of work for years; I did plenty of it when I was in the press. Reporters write out fairly certain aspects of a story in advance, so they can add the news as it happens very rapidly and get that story out to the public. Indeed, wire service reporters often will file a story very soon after the start of some event and then "recast" it some time later when more details are available. It's not typical for that advance material to appear without the news added, but I don't view it personally as any indication of how much or how little news the debates might generate. I view it as a way for reporters to work efficiently. Rory J.
