Presidential Youth Debate Answers and Details Now Online

Last month, Slashdot readers contributed their own inquiries to the pool of questions for the Walden University Presidential Youth Debate. Two of those questions made the cut, and you can watch either the individual video responses to each of the questions presented to John McCain and Barack Obama (by scrolling down the just-linked debate home page), or the whole debate straight through. For something meatier, if you are weary of predictably slippery campaign-style answers, Ethan Rowe of End Point has a very interesting blog post about the technology background of the debate.

  1. CPD question not even answered by sethawoolley · · Score: 3, Informative

    They didn't even comment on the Commission on Presidential Debates which is Dems and Reps trying to limit the debates to just their parties, despite question number six asking about it.

    Just another opportunity for the candidates to 1) not even answer the questions and 2) we didn't even see Barr/Nader/Baldwin/McKinney asked any of these questions on an equal level.

    Why even bother asking about the commission on presidential debates when the debate itself excludes minor party candidates that have enough ballot access to potentially win the election?

  2. tooting my own horn. by DragonTHC · · Score: 3, Informative

    all of those questions are typical shit political questions. They don't force any real answers.

    my question http://interviews.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=978947&cid=25190311
    I asked that and it should have been put forth. Whomever chose the questions is a nitwit.
