About one hour to go until the 2nd Presidential Debate. Check back here afterwards to post your reactions.
For those of you with C-SPAN, they've been showing the 10/15/92 "town hall" debate with Bush, Clinton and Perot. Amazingly, it actually seems like a real town hall where they picked people out of the audience who were allowed to direct their questions to the whole group and who were allowed to pose follow-up questions. As I understand it, in tonight's debate, the questions will be asked by audience members, but the questions were all pre-selected, the audience members are not allowed to go off-script, and not allowed to pose follow-up questions. And the moderator isn't allowed to ask follow-up questions, either. And there will be no direct cross-questioning between the candidates.
How is this a town hall, again? And how is this a debate?
