A Debate on America’s Financial Future?
With a little over two weeks to go before the general election, this is quite possibly the last time each candidate will have to persuade many of the voters who have not made a decision yet. This debate is scheduled to discuss domestic policy (education, social security, etc.) but in light of the financial crisis that is looming on Wall Street, be prepared to have this issue monopolize the debate.
Remember each student must decide who won the debate (no ties!), Senator John McCain or Senator Barack Obama and then post a paragraph or two argument as to why that candidate won the debate. It would be beneficial and ideal if students actually watch each debate but the following non-partisan political links and candidate sites will assist those students unable to actually view the debates.
