The interesting part will be the fact that they'll also be keeping an eye on what the other candidates are doing (in the case where they are close, which only really applies to the two remaining Dems).

I suspect their advisers will say that this type of debate poses more risks than benefits to each of the candidates. I guess we'll see. e.
