Tonight, The Badger Herald will be bringing the public forum
directly to the student body, as we host a debate between the College Democrats
and the College Republicans.
With the presidential campaign slowly moving its focus
toward Wisconsin, this university has the perfect opportunity to seriously
debate the issues of this nation and state that hang in the balance with the
upcoming election.
The questions will focus on topics including immigration,
the Iraq war, health care and energy policy.
We encourage you to come prepared with a critical
perspective, as three follow-up questions will be asked from students in
attendance.
This event may be one of the first of its kind at UW, yet we
hope it will not be the last. With your participation, we can be assured it
won’t.

I hope this stays Democrat vs. Republican ideals and not about one candidate over the other.
