Governor's Debate Tonight!

by Trevor Grayless and Laura Shaw
Along with the many changes occurring at YIG, this year comes a new forum for the Governor’s Debate. We, the editors, have taken it upon ourselves to make some necessary changes from the stuffy forums of the past. Some of you may have watched the presidential debates this year; well, when we were collaborating with the video press directors for this year’s debate, we decided to attempt a town hall forum, one that mirrors the second presidential debate between Senator John McCain and President Elect Barack Obama. We’re hoping to make the audience a bigger factor this year. You all may have noticed the question box sitting in the lobby when you first arrived. We encourage you to submit questions that you would like the candidates to answer during the debate. We’re going to take some of your best questions and present them to the candidates at tonight’s debate. However, as a disclaimer here, we ask that you take this suggestion box seriously and only put forward serious, well-thought out questions. I’m sure everyone is wondering whether each candidate wears boxers or briefs, but that’s a bit personal- don’t you think? If you want your voice to be heard, then don’t forget to drop off your (serious) questions, and be in the Capital and Missouri Ballrooms at 9:30 pm sharp!
