Walden University Hosts 2008 Presidential Youth Debate Online
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Walden University will host
The Walden University Presidential Youth Debate between Senators John McCain
and Barack Obama. Airing online on Monday, Oct. 20, at noon Eastern time, the
debate will enable young Americans to ask questions that the two major
presidential candidates will answer. The event can be viewed at
www.debate.WaldenU.edu and is free and open to the public.
Participants nationwide between the ages of 13 and 35 submitted questions
that both presidential candidates will answer at the debate via pre-recorded
video. Debate moderators selected the top questions, which were then posted
online so all young Americans could vote on the final questions. Those 14
questions, along with videotaped answers from McCain and Obama, will air
online during The Walden University Presidential Youth Debate.
"This presidential campaign has excited and engaged young people more than
any in decades. And Walden University is thrilled and honored to host this
year's presidential youth debate, as a part of a broader campaign to increase
civic awareness and social responsibility among Americans of all ages," said
Jonathan A. Kaplan, president of Walden University.
The Presidential Youth Debate was founded to focus presidential candidates
on issues important to America's youth, and every major presidential candidate
has participated in the Presidential Youth Debate since 1996.
