Fiery and personal; a heated debate between Regent Democrats and Republicans took place in the Library Auditorium Thusday, October 30th. The first ever student debate here at Regent University offered an opportunity for students just 5 days before the election to sharpen their political views.
Sensitive topics such as abortion and Christianity were the initial platforms taken, but students quickly moved onto issues of the economy, foreign policy and the integrity of Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama.
The Question and Answer section of the debate rightfully brought out the boxing gloves as students challenged the debate panel to revisit the issues of race and the virtue of both presidential candidates.
Students congregated around pizza and soda after the debate. No blood was shed.
