The news topics on the New York Times this week focused on this past Friday's debate. The Debate was at the University of Mississippi between McCain and Obama. The news revolved on everything surrounding the debate: who was or wasn't coming, what would be discussed (the designated foreign policy, or the economy), and who would win. Directly after the main debate, there was news titled "the debate" on who won the debate. I believe that the issue is going to shift in the next coming week to the next upcoming debate.
I haven't heard anyone talk about the debate, other than within my Election class. A few friends have mentioned it, but other than that, there was no discussion about it. This could reflect on the perception of importance of the debate. If people do not think that the debates are important, it could change the entire campaign strategies. However, I think that there will be more discussion on how well each candidate did rather than the anticipation of each debate. Overall the top issues being discussed by the NY Times this week were: 1)The Debate 2)McCain's presence at the debate 3)Economy 4)Bush's speech 5)Controversial Ads.
