"Final Debate Captures Attention." The Crow's Nest

By: Kaeli Conforti

Debate Watch Party

Preliminary poll: 11 students for Obama, 2 for McCain.
Sheets of paper handed to students with arguments and candidate phrases. Students listened attentively during education, abortion, and health care issues.
Students favor round-table style of debating over forum style. Students complain when candidates sidestep issues, just stick to the issue at hand. Some felt Obama was on defensive because did not always respond to McCain. "Obama needs to smile."

Let's see how much this debate effects election outcome. Have students changed opinions?
