Debate Watch 2012
You be the pundit!
DebateWatch is a voter education program of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). DebateWatch brings citizens like you together to watch the televised debates, talk about what you learned, and, if you choose to, share your reactions with the CPD. CWiC is an official voter education partner.
CWiC's speaking advisors will host DebateWatch events. During a DebateWatch event, a CWiC speaking advisor will faciliate a discussion of the debate afterward. Rather than watching the pundits argue about the mertis of the candidates' arguments, you and other Penn students will be the pundits. DebateWatch is cosponsored by Penn Libraries.
