	No Debate: Format's A Sham
		Candidates that voters want to see are often excluded, such as Ross Perot; issues the American people want to hear about are often ignored, such as free trade and declining wages; and the debates have been reduced to glorified bipartisan news conferences, in which the Republican and Democratic candidates merely recite prepackaged soundbites.
		As a result, debate viewership has plummeted, with 25 million fewer people watching the 2000 presidential debates than watching the 1992 presidential debates.
		The Citizens' Debate Commission has announced sites and dates for five presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate, to be held in colleges and universities around the country.

	A four-way debate would be good for us (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Commission on Presidential Debates (http://www.debates.org), although officially non-partisan, is in fact a bi-partisan committee composed entirely of Democrats and Republicans, headed by former party chairmen.
		The CPD, which determines which presidential candidates can be included in the debates, has established criteria that require candidates to poll an average of 15% in five major polls in order to be eligible.
		Allowing them to debate would therefore give the public the opportunity that they should have to hear differing views on these issues and become more familiar with the Presidential candidates who will be listed on the ballot.

	Electoral College: 2000 Presidential Race by Percentage
		While I personally thought that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's performance in last night's debate was awful and that he has been badly damaged by the flip-flop argument, I am clearly in the minority.
		Immediately after the debate, the general sense among most commentators was that Kerry had done a bit better.
		My hunch is that the race moved from a Bush lead in the three- to eight-point range (perhaps four points in swing states and six points nationally) to an advantage of between one and six points nationally, and two to three points in swing states.

	AsiaMedia :: A Guide to Watching, Listening or Reading about the U.S. Presidential Debate
		Both candidates will try to appear presidential: The Republican incumbent is generally a strong TV performer, certainly cooler and sharper than his 2000 debate opponent, Al Gore.
		Maybe history may judge him as sharp as Winston Churchill, but the general American consensus right now is that while decisive, even Reaganesque in focus and charm, Bush’s IQ is not high on his list of virtues.
		If this analysis for Debate One is correct, and if the pattern of the first debate holds through TV debate ordeals two and three, then Kerry will win the debates.

	American Politics Journal -- Russert Loses GOP Debate
		Last evening's GOP debate in New Hampshire was the testiest, most differentiating and most informative of the campaign season so far -- and also the most amusing.
		He kept trying to provoke conflict between individual debaters, and was constantly referring to Bush and McCain -- essentially marginalizing the other four candidates.
		Shortly after the debate, Forbes protested that Russert had given too much time to Bush McCain during the more open, free-wheeling second half of the debate.
