“It was an unidentified flying object, OK? It’s, like, it’s unidentified,” Kucinich said during one of the few highlights at the Democratic presidential debate in Philadelphia. “I saw something.” You have to keep in mind that more — that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush’s presidency,” Kucinich said.
Debate moderator Tim Russert then cited a poll saying that 14 percent of Americans claim to have seen a UFO, to which Kucinich asked: “What as that percentage?”
Truth Is Out There “Fourteen,” Russert answered.
“Thank you,” Kucinich responded.
Tim Russert asked Sen. Barack Obama about his belief in the existence of life of life beyond Earth.
“I don’t presume to know. What I know is there is life here on Earth, and — and that we’re not attending to life here on Earth,” Obama said.

Trying to think of one for a mock presidential debate, but having a hard time thinking of a real good one.
what would you do as president to insure that the american way of life and all our freedoms are intact for future generations
It looked more like a presidential debate from the 2008 Campaign than a bipartisan health care summit, as former rivals Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and President Obama, who bluntly told McCain “the campiagn’s over”.

I was interested in going to the debate next month in Nashville, TN. Come to find out, the audience has already been chosen and is not allowing any participants from the general public. Why is this?
Distribution varies per debate. Here is the distibution for the four debates – tickets sold out very fast.
Student Tickets
Distribution Plan
Members of the Presidential Debate Student Steering Committee have devised a plan for distribution of tickets to the first presidential debate to be held at the University of Mississippi on September 26, 2008. Students may obtain tickets in one of three ways:
Through a lottery based on participation in debate-related events August 29 through September 19
Through a lottery based on campus leadership, scholarship, and campus activity participation
By winning one of the debate-related contests. Winners of the OMazing Games, Quiz Bowl, Debate Class Competition, and Daily Mississippian Policy Proposal will receive tickets.

Belmont University is thrilled to have been selected as the site for the 2008 Presidential Town Hall Debate. It is a privilege for us to host this historic event.
The debates are primarily intended for the television viewing audience. Tickets are not available to the general public. Belmont students will be given top priority for any tickets that may be made available to Belmont.

Hofstra University is very pleased to host the third and final presidential debate of the 2008 presidential campaign on October 15. The debate itself is produced and sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that controls all aspects of debate production.
Ticket availability for the debate itself will be extremely limited. In debates produced by the CPD in prior presidential elections, at most a few hundred tickets were made available to the host university in the days immediately prior to the debate. The campaigns control a significant portion of the tickets.
Virtually all of tickets allocated to Hofstra University from the Commission on Presidential Debates will be distributed to current students in the days before the debate, as recommended by the CPD and consistent with past practices of debate hosts.
VP Debate Ticket Lottery
All audience tickets for the 2008 vice presidential debate are the responsibility of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). The commission determines who will receive the extremely limited number of tickets. There is no guarantee that the university will receive any tickets. If there are any tickets assigned to Washington University, they will go entirely to our current graduate and undergraduate students through a lottery process. Administrators, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and the public will not be eligible for the lottery. We suggest that people who are interested in attending the debate contact either the CPD directly, or their local political party headquarters.
In order to receive a debate ticket, students must register their interest in a ticket by 12:00 pm (noon) CDT on Friday, September 26, 2008, and be selected through a subsequent lottery of all those who have expressed interest. Only those students who have registered their interest in obtaining a ticket and are currently enrolled at Washington University at the time the lottery is run on Friday, September 26, 2008 will be eligible for tickets.

The American voter.
Neither candidate won – they played it safe for the most part, trying not to lose. Nothing memorable came from that debate.

The Republican and Democratic presidential candidates would be split in half. There would be two different debates on the calendar. The stage would be set up with no two candidates from the same party next to each other. Do you think it could ever happen? We know the ratings would high, how do we get an event to take place?
I am talking about the primary candidates. I thought the question was self explanatory.
It would show primary voters how well the candidates go head to head with the other side. Today, we have debate repeats. The same questions being answered over and over next to the same primary candidates.
I think it would be possible and a great idea. Since I don’t vote party it would be great to see all the canidates go head to head.
