First, these are the dates of all the debates:
* Friday 9/26: Foreign policy debate, Jim Lehrer moderator
* Thursday 10/2: Vice presidential debate, Gwen Ifill moderator
* Tuesday 10/7: Town hall meeting, Tom Brokaw moderator
* Wednesday 10/15: Domestic policy, Bob Schieffer moderator
I found this artcle about the upcoming debates between the Presidential Candidates and Vice Presidential candidates. According to the New York Times,
The McCain camp fought for and won a much more structured approach for the questioning at the vice-presidential debate, advisers to both campaigns said Saturday.
Why in the hell did they let Mccain do this? I don't know why she needs the delicate treatment, and she is suposed to be a Pit Bull. HAhAaha!
It's sad that they are still keeping Palin so tight lipped because they know she is a knucklehead and might just say anything.
The Mccain Campaign even admits that she is inexperienced.
McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive.
So, This is set-up,
At the insistence of the McCain campaign, the Oct. 2 debate between Gov. Sarah Palin and her Democratic rival, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential nominees, the advisers said. There will also be much less opportunity for free-wheeling, direct exchanges between the running mates.
On the other hand, Mccain and Obama debates will be free flowing,
The Obama and McCain campaigns have agreed to an unusual, free-flowing format for the three televised presidential debates, which begin on Friday.
I think this will help Obama more if he is quick on his toes when he answers questions. Somebody needs to check Mccain hearing aid for a remote listening device.( He has the money for it) If McCain is willing to lie, he is willing to cheat. Just like at the Saddleback Form on Faith.
