DEBATE 2008
We at Fox News would like to make a statement relating to today's Debate 2008, hosted on the University of California, Davis campus. We would first like to thank all of the candidates who participated for doing so, and particularlly for being so well prepared. The Democratic debate was excellent, because of the candidates' enthusiasm and passion about the issues. Prior to today's debate, we at Fox News were concerned there would be too many rebuttals or added comments, ultimately thwarting the discussion of a range of topics. However, we are pleased that the Democrats came ready to give their stances on the many issues, particularlly in relation to their fellow candidates. The debate benefitted from your competition and we at Fox applaud your performance. We would like to note that Senator Edwards came out excited and prepared today, ultimately giving him the upper hand going into Thursday's vote.

After the Democratic debate we moved to the Republicans. The Republicans also came out ready and well informed. Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans had less rebuttals or added responses giving them the opportunity to touch on one extra topic. This turned out to be highly beneficial for the Republicans. Their voters were able to gain a wealth of information on a range of issues, creating well informed voters. As for the winner of this debate, we at Fox News believe the race has become even tighter between the Republicans, because each candidate had an opportunity to shine.

For more information on this debate, take a look at our live footage, which will be posted on our website later today. We would also like to invite all of our supporters to come watch our final broadcast of You Decide 2008 that will be aired during the Sociology 118 class this Thursday, February 7th. Thank you for your support of Fox News, where we report and your decide.
