In just about fifteen minutes, John McCain and Barack Obama will sit down in a town hall debate at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee and from all indications, it could be a lively debate. The debate will be moderated by Tom Brokaw, of NBC News and he will choose the questions from an audience of [...]
Sarah Palin to debate Joe Biden tonight
October 2, 2008 by LD Jackson · 4 Comments
Tonight is the night that may be the make or break night for Sarah Palin. She gets the chance to prove her worth in tonight’s Vice Presidential debate in St. Louis. Her opponent is Senator Joe Biden, who is a very experienced and accomplished debater and who has been urged to take the gloves off [...]

Are you still hearing all the news media telling you the Republican race for the presidential nomination is over? I am and if you are like me, you are sick and tired of hearing the same old song and dance about the math. Not only am I tired of it, I believe Mike Huckabee is [...]
Petition John McCain to debate Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul before the March 4th primaries
February 18, 2008 by LD Jackson · Leave a Comment
CNN and the Ohio Republican Party had originally scheduled a debate to be held February 28th, just days before the March 4th primaries. For unknown reasons, this debate has been cancelled. Even though the field of candidates has narrowed considerably, I believe it would be of great value to the voters of Ohio, Texas, Vermont, [...]
And the winner of the debate is, Mike Huckabee

First of all, let me say this about tonight’s debate. I have watched every Republican debate except the one in Michigan and I must say, even with Huckabee’s great performance, this was the worst managed debate of them all. Anderson Cooper didn’t even make a pretence of being non-biased. Almost every question went first to [...]
Live blog of the CNN California debate
January 30, 2008 by LD Jackson · Leave a Comment
The location of the California debate is the Ronald Reagan Library. The moderator started off by saying the only rule would be that there wouldn’t be any rules.
The first question is going to Mitt Romney first and it was if Americans were better off now than they were eight years ago. He tried to dance [...]
Live blog (sort of) of the Republican Florida debate
January 24, 2008 by LD Jackson · Leave a Comment
I probably will not be able to keep up with the entire debate, but something has already struck me right off the start. The moderator started out by asking Mitt Romney about the economic stimulus package. This same question went then to John McCain and Rudy Guiliani, but they did not give Mike Huckabee and [...]
Huckabee answers another religious question
January 11, 2008 by LD Jackson · Leave a Comment
I was unable to watch last night’s debate on Fox because I was helping my future son-in-law move my daughter’s furniture, in preparation for the wedding on Saturday. In trying to catch up with the debate news, I found out that Carl Cameron slipped in a question to Mike Huckabee that was strictly a religious [...]
$137,406.70 to go and the goal will be met
November 30, 2007 by LD Jackson · Leave a Comment
It has been an incredible last few days of fundraising for the Huckabee campaign. It looked as if there was no way to meet the goal set for November, just last week, but with what most people declared as a great victory for Mike Huckabee in the CNN-YouTube debate, the fundraising has taken off and [...]
Fred Thompson challenges rivals to low-key debates
November 29, 2007 by LD Jackson · Leave a Comment
Fox News is reporting Fred Thompson has challenged the other serious contenders for the Republican nomination to a low-key roundtable debates. This was after he was completely overshadowed at last night’s CNN-YouTube debate. I try my best to not be a smart alec on my blog, but give me a break.
When Fred Thompson first entered [...]
