cathmom Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 During the debate I was working on my preferred format. Audience member asks question. Candidates answer. Audience member gets followup minute to ask further questions on the same topic, clarify answers, or to just say, "Wow, you totally avoided answering my question in any way, shape, or form!" Continue in like manner. Moderator quits interrupting with extraneous time comments. At the end of the debate, the audience members vote on who won so we don't have to listen to the media argue. Think any candidates will go for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Will the candidates go for it? HAH! That would require actual accountability, not the regular "dodge ball-dance a little two-step" answers they're all so good at giving out. I like the idea of it, though!

If only the Presidential race was really about the American people.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
