The Presidential Debate

The debate between the presidential nominees is scheduled for tonight. There was worry that McCain, who claimed to be putting his campaign on hold would not show up but he announced today that he would be there. With just over a month until the presidential election, this debate is a very important one for both candidates. A large focus of the debate will probably be the state of the economy and the very recent, very large, stock market bailout that is in under discussion in Washington. This is a very important meeting not only because of the time, but because of the level playing field. Most of what has been seen of the candidates so far has been in the conventions or in ads specifically designed to promote the candidate. Another big topic of the debates might be that of national security and foreign policy both of which are strong differences and talking points between the candidates and parties. It is predicted that this will be one of, if not the most watched debate ever with how close the race is. This is the first of three major debates between the candidates and winning these debates may just get the respective candidate the win.
