The hosts examine the leadership of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), noting that it is chaired by Howard G. Buffett, son of Warren Buffett. They list other board members, including former politicians Jane Harman and Olympia Snowe, and argue the organization is a "stacked deck" designed to exclude third-party candidates like Jill Stein. This follows Stein's recent criticisms of the commission's non-partisan status.

Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe have introduced the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, which critics claim grants the President an "internet kill switch." The bill would allow the Secretary of Commerce access to critical network data regardless of existing privacy laws. The hosts call for voters in Maine to remove Senator Snowe from office in response to the legislation.
