Reagan Library to Host First Republican Debate for 2012 Primary
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyWhat took so long? It's been over a week since the 2010 vote and debate plans are finally being made for the presidential election in two years. The first Republican primary debate is set for spring 2011 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday. "Ronnie would be thrilled that the road to the White House will begin at his Presidential Library," former first lady Nancy Reagan said in a press release. "I look forward to welcoming and watching the top candidates debate the issues next spring." NBC News and Politico will be the ...
Christine O'Donnell's Debate Performance Draws Semi-Positive Reviews
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 14) -- Christine O'Donnell and Chris Coons -- also respectively known to each other as "The Witch" and "The Bearded Marxist" -- faced off Wednesday night in a nationally televised debate more captivating for its entertainment value than as a tight political race. Although Coons carried in a sizable lead over tea party favorite O'Donnell in the polls -- ahead 19 points according to a CNN/Time poll released the day of the debate -- the showdown still provided its share of memorable moments. Just in case you are still getting up to speed on the highlights, here are some of the more ...
Christine O'Donnell Calls Chris Coons a Marxist in Delaware Senate Debate
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyDelaware Senate candidates Christine O'Donnell and Chris Coons tangled with each other over taxes, Afghanistan, whether he's a Marxist and whether she's a deadbeat in a combative 90-minute debate that also veered into evolution, abortion, religion and gay rights. Democrat Coons, the New Castle County executive, and Republican O'Donnell, a conservative activist and national celebrity since her Tea Party-powered primary victory over veteran Rep. Mike Castle, started right off trading insults. He said she supports failed economic policies and extreme education positions, and prefers "partisan ...
It's Insult Time, Face to Face, in Debates
By not in system - AOL News
WASHINGTON (Oct. 7) - "That's a lie. You know that's a lie. I never said it." That was Republican Linda McMahon going after Democrat Richard Blumenthal this week as the Connecticut Senate rivals shared a debate stage. Afterward, he insisted she was the one playing "fast and loose with the facts." Across the country, in California, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman pointedly blamed Democrat Jerry Brown for the disclosure that she had employed an illegal immigrant housekeeper. "You put it out there and you should be ashamed for sacrificing Nicky Diaz on the altar of your political ...

After Bad Debate Performance, Jan Brewer Gives Up Debating
By David Knowles - AOL News(Sept. 3) -- One and done? Jan Brewer, Arizona's Republican governor, announced on Thursday that she will not participate in any future debates with her Democratic rival, Terry Goddard, following what many consider an overwhelmingly embarrassing performance at a debate on Wednesday night. "I don't believe that things come out in proper context in an adversarial atmosphere," Brewer told the Arizona Daily Star, adding that the only reason she agreed to the first debate was in order to qualify for $1.7 million in public funds for her campaign. Now that that hurdle has been cleared, however ...
Jan Brewer's Bad Night Conjures Up Other Memorable Debate Moments
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyArizona Gov. Jan Brewer's long and awkward pause in her gubernatorial debate was the talk of political junkies this week. Why she froze was anybody's guess. The governor compounded her problems by preceding her uncomfortable interlude with an inaccurate claim (that she balanced the state's budget) and by following it with an ungrammatical sentence: "We have did what was right for Arizona." The governor's lapse immediately took its place in the pantheon of memorable moments in political debates, a category full of gaffes, one-liners, whoppers, ill-advised gestures, zingers, and the occasional ...
British Elections: Why Glenda Jackson Should Replace Gordon Brown
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyMemo to the Labour Party HQ: Replace Gordon Brown with Glenda Jackson as your candidate in Thursday's election. It's not all that often that you have the chance to contemplate a "what if" scenario while an election is still under way. But that's exactly what happened to me on Friday afternoon. I was attending a "hustings" (open forum) for the Member of Parliament (MP) seat in my London constituency. It was the last time before the general election that the candidates from the three main political parties -- Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats -- would be together in one room. And as ...
McCain Comes Out Swinging, Wins Going Away
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyBy any objective standard, Sen. John McCain had his best performance of the three presidential debates tonight. And by any objective standard, he came away the clear winner. On nearly every question, McCain was able to raise questions of his own about Sen. Barack Obama's record, or lack thereof; and had Obama defending and explaining for most of the night. McCain questioned Obama on William Ayers, ACORN, voting against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act while in the Illinois State Legislature, taxes, spending, and a litany of other issues. In politics, the axiom goes, "if you're explaining, ...
Pre-Debate Spin Reveals Obama Attack Strategy
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThe Obama campaign mistakenly released its pre-debate talking points to the press today, giving a preview of what could be shaping up to be a very negative final two weeks for the campaign. With leads in the national polls, the Obama campaign, which had so much trouble sealing the deal in the waning days of the Democratic primary, looks to be gearing up for an all out attack on Sen. John McCain's age and temperament. The talking points focus on what the Obama campaign expects will be Sen. McCain's "attacks" during the last presidential debate, to be held tonight."Reminder: These are for staff ...
