Lincoln-Douglas Debate

The debate that I had was debate number 5. This debate took place October 7, 1858 in Galesburg Illinois. The main topic of the debate was about slavery. Lincoln was very against slavery and believed that every man should be treated equally and i definitely agree. For my article for the news paper I wrote about the transportation that had been built in 1854. This helped the turnout of the debate tremendously, and also helped connect the people.


Obama-Biden vs. McCain-Palin

The 2008 Presidential and Vice Presidential Debates: When the Presidential Debate took place I feel that Obama won the debate because he answered the questions thoroughly for the most part, while McCain was very jumbled with his words and did not sound very promising. I feel that McCain is to old to run for president and i think that he will forget half the promises that he made. When it came to the VP Debate I feel that Biden also took the debate. Palin was very unprofessional and even said she wasn't going to answer the questions. She used slang to answer her questions such as "Joe six pack" and other very unprofessional phrases. Palin also said that since she has only been running for 5 weeks she doesn't have any promises because it has been such a short time, this shows how inexperienced she is. So overall I am convinced that the Obama-Biden team where the winners.
