While we are sad to conclude the 2008 Presidential Debates Project, we are proud of the wonderful commentaries we were able to aggregate from our partners. Tonight, I am releasing Sophia Nelson’s complete commentary on the last debate. Sophia is our final commentator and we couldn’t be more excited to have had her on board! For more information about VoterWatch and what we do, please see VoterWatch’s official web site and TransparencyMatters.org!
For each of the debates, Dick Morris has been providing commentary using the VoterWatch media player. Today, we’re happy to report the official release of his thoughts and perspectives on Tuesday’s debate. With the town hall setting in mind, Morris offers some intriguing commentary on both McCain and Obama. As always, Morris’ perspective is more than interesting. Be sure to visit DickMorris.com and click below to view his commentary:

Things have really changed, haven’t they? In a very short time, the opportunity for political engagement has grown exponentially. From the limited ability to merely watch televised debates years ago to the evolution of prime access to technologically-induced discussions using various forms of social media, the landscape continues to morph. The 2008 Presidential Debates Project signifies this important shift in access and ideology.
VoterWatch is excited to announce our 2008 Presidential Debates Project - an initiative intended to aggregate multiple perspectives and ideologies, while working to engage the American electorate. This project is unique in that it brings together individuals and institutions from a wide range of political inclinations. How will it work, you ask? Using the VoterWatch media player, some of the political sector’s best and brightest individuals and non-profit organizations will comment and blog within footage of the U.S. presidential debates (yes, we said within). For more information on the how this works be sure to visit our web site.
On September 26th (the date of the first presidential debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain) and on the days following, Dick Morris, Cynthia McKinney and many others will be joining VoterWatch in providing their commentary and perspective surrounding the debates. Be sure to stay tuned over the next week as we roll out more information on this important initiative!
