011: The History of Presidential Debates: From Abraham Lincoln to Present Day

Hello! In this weeks episode, I cover the History of the Presidential Debate. This history is supprisingly short, with debates only being regulated in 1988. In modern times, we loook at the debate as a defining aspect of the presidential race, but it has not always been that way. Sources for todays episode include: How stuff works.com, the Constitution Center, Pew Research Center, Time Magazine, and Wikipedia.
