Hi meleah rebeccah,
It was great! And it was over 10 minutes long. I hear that they will be doing special political shows on Thursdays. I'm not sure if I heard correctly. I have to look it up.
I think the debate was a wonderful one! I hope that people watched and really paid attention.
Hi Tracy,
It was the highest watched VP debate in history! ;o)
