Sinopsis

American presidential debates have traditionally created mixed reviews. Advocates have praised the debates as a way of making issues more central to the campaign, however others have criticized them as little more than joint press conferences. How important are these debates? Do they really test knowledge and vision? Do they sort good ideas from bad, or reveal important character traits? In short, do they provide American voters with what they need to know to choose a President? The authors address these questions and place contemporary debates in their cultural and historical context, tracing their origins and development in the American political system from the 18th century to the present.
