The only woman to moderate a presidential debate since 1988 is Carole Simpson of ABC.  But three teenagers from New Jersey want to do something about it. “Emma Axelrod, 16, Sammi Siegel, 15, and Elena Tsemberis, 16, started a petition to the commission that picks moderators asking them to consider a woman for the post. That quickly grew to over 117,000 signatures, and another petition, directly to the candidates, garnered another 53,000.”
