Blog your thoughts on the following:
In the first presidential debate between Obama and McCain, each were given 2 minutes to respond to each main question and then they had 5 minutes for the moderator to ask follow-ups and/or the candidates to offer clarification. Each question had a total of 9 minutes between the candidates.
In the vice-presidential debate between Biden and Palin, each were give 90 seconds to answer each question with 2 minutes together for rebuttal and follow-up. Each question had a total of 5 minutes between the candidates.
Given what you saw of the debates, how did the format of the debate affect the various candidates? Did it help or hurt them collectively and individually? What did it do for the quality of the debate?
If the blog isn’t working, go ahead and write your analysis on paper.
