Talk:United States presidential debates

message: "Commission on Presidential Debates" redirects to this page.  There should be a seperate article for "Commission on Presidential Debates" as this page is about the presidential debates, in general, which have been historically sponsored by organizations other than the Commission on Presidential Debate and may be sponsored by other organizations in the future.  The Commission on Presidential Debates is a seperate and distict organization.
This isn't an Encyclopedia entry: it's an essay (and a rather unfocussed, obtuse and poorly phrased essay at that). It requires some quite detailed attention to bring it up to standard. Oxymoron 09:31, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to have a go at touching this up over the next couple of days, however would this also classify as orginal research article? Grandwazir 17:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

text: The article is much improved, though it still starts off with the labored  "the two main candidates (almost always the candidates of the two main parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, engage in a debate." Can this be phrased more frankly and directly, still leaving the exclusion of third-party candidates to a section buried well down in the text? --Wetman 00:34, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect?

message: In 1988 it was a presidental debate (series) between then Vice-President George Bush Sr, and Governor Michael Dukakis (MA) and also one Vice Presidential debate between former senator Dan Quale, and Texas Senator Loyd Benson. ( Its in both Dan Quayle's bio and Lloyd Bensons bio...)

message: How are the locations for debates determined?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.37.3 (talk) 18:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Locations

message: This article really needs one, because many people are unhappy with these debates because of the near-universal exclusion of third parties and independents as well as the parallel interview format.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.20.237.118 (talk) 16:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism section?

message: The article previously stated "Going into the debate, President Carter had a narrow lead over his opponent, Governor Ronald Reagan of California, in a race considered 'too close to call.'" This not true and an oft-repeated myth. In the aggregate of 1980 polls, Carter was behind Reagan for the last six months of the campaign. Yes, Carter was ahead in one poll but behind in all the others and behind in an aggregate of all polls.72.94.162.159 (talk) 14:31, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Misinformation about 1980 election

message: (edit a few minutes later: found the sites and panelists) The section cites Chicago and the WBBM studios as the site of the first debate, does someone have the cities and exact locations of the next three? Since these debates were a historical first, and set the stage for future debates, the section should be expanded. Thanks. Randy Kryn 14:00 14 February, 2015 (UTC)
ABS ? studios should that be either ABC or CBS?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.99.58 (talk) 04:29, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Should the "2nd" Presidential and Vice Presidential debates be added to the table? The now canceled 2nd debate of 2020 is still in the table (as it should be imo)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.45.248 (talk) 02:03, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: 1980 canceled debates

message: It is strange that the two main candidates for the 2024 presidential election are accusations in the judicial systems. They won't be surprised if they give up their candidatures. 2A0D:6FC7:33F:BBCB:5CBE:432B:1219:A976 (talk) 01:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
