Presidential Debates: Presidential Candidates Debate
Governor George W. Bush (R-TX) and Vice President Al Gore met at Washington University in St. Louis for the last of three presidential debates prior to the 2000 presidential election. They debated in a town-hall format, with both candidates taking questions from an audience of undecided voters chosen by the Gallup organization. The debate opened with a moment of silence to mark the death of Missouri Governor Carnahan. In sometimes antagonistic exchanges, the candidates addressed various issues including health care, tax cuts, education, and Affirmative Action. Both tended to agree, however, on policy toward the Middle East.
