  With his well-known left-wing political views, he would not be considered fair by the Republican party and they would not accept him as moderator.

  To be fair, the moderator can't be a left-wing activist or a right-wing activist.

  Disseminating science more broadly is something about which he cares deeply. He was instrumental in establishing the Center for Communicating Science several years ago at Stony Brook University (http://www.centerforcommunicatingscience.org/).
