The recent presidential debates between John McCain and Barack Obama covered a wide range of pressing topics, from foreign energy policy to health care and financial programs. The upcoming election is sure to be a pivotal moment in the history of our country, if the tense atmosphere and momentous challenges facing our nation are anything to go by. Therefore, the debates were an excellent opportunity to allow the candidates a chance to speak directly to the American people in a Q&A format, a style that makes it far more straightforward to judge the character of a candidate, a feat made impossible by the prepared quality of almost every politician's public statements. Another useful aspect of the debate prompts is their focus on the important issues of the day, providing more in-depth and timely summaries of the candidate's plans, and allowing them to directly address the merits and shortcomings of each others proposals.
