Janet Brown, Executive Director of the Election Commission, spoke on his thoughts on the history of Presidential Debates at a C-SPAN video conference for college students.
The video conference is a collaborative effort between C-SPAN, the Cable Center, Pace University, the University of Denver, and George Mason University. The conference gave a forum for college students to ask questions to political news makers.
The video conference presented Brown’s favorite debate moments over the past couple of decades. However, the most interesting part of the discussion is the question and answer period with the students.
Questions were posed about the debates and who chooses the locations, moderators, and all the details that goes in to Presidential Debates.
. “Many of the debate details are thought up by the campaigns themselves,” said Brown about the campaigns. “However, scheduling debates is possibly the most difficult.”
You can review an edited version of the Video Conference on C-SPAN 3 on Fridays at 5PM.
