APC Primary Debates
APC’s series of primary election debates started July 7. Live debates continue Sun., July 9 and Sun., July 16. We made news with our taped debates on July 7. Even the lack of Rep. Cynthia McKinney is newsworthy!

The debate between McKinney and Johnson did not serve the public interest. Because you allowed them to ask each other questions, the debate degenerated into a series of accusations and mudslinging. Additionally, the journalists who questioned them chose to focus on these accusations and the negativity of the campaigns rather than on the pressing issues facing this country. By the end of the debate, I did not know where each one stood on the war in Iraq, illegal immigration, gas prices, gay rights, and other urgent matters. I hope you do a better job next time.
