Comments on: Obama, Romney cram for first Presidential debate http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/45228 The oldest political news site on the Internet Sat, 18 May 2013 02:13:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Jim B. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/45228/comment-page-1#comment-209136 Jim B. Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:54:22 +0000 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/?p=45228#comment-209136 I’d be curious to know if…since these televised debates began….whether any of the Presidential candidates over the years has ever had any debating experience in high school or college (e.g.: on a debate team)?

I know and you know and everyone knows the TV debate is not really a debate along the lines and rules and structure of a “real debate”, but I wonder if previous experience in that official arena would still help a candidate in this “tricked-up debate TV format”.

Over the years, they all seem to practice with various colleague coaches…but do they have any debating experience from high school or college?
