And later, debating the issues OUTSIDE the candidate forum. |
| Intro Saddam Return to index of stories... |
But first, the news many people are talking about: Sunday's capture of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Officials describe him as both defiant and sarcasticduring his interrogation. And, they say, he has denied his government had weapons of mass descruction or links to al-Qaida. Saddam's capture is certainly a major event, but what does it mean for operation iraqi freedom and the war on terror? Phil Vaughn sat down with Dr. Tom Trout, a University of New Hampshire Political Science Professor, who specializes in international relations, intelligence and terrorism. |
| Intro Gephardt Return to index of stories... |
Since Saddam Hussein's capture, democratic presidential candidates have spent a good deal of time talking about what the country's strategy should be in Iraq. But there are other important issues facing the candidates - like corporate responsibility. New Hampshire Outlook and the the Center for Public Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship have teamed up for a special series of interviews with the candidates to find out what they think needs to be done so ethics become an integral part of the business world. NH Business Review’s Jeff Feingold sat down with Representative Dick Gephardt. |

This was the first of our interviews with the candidates. Tuesday - Jeff is joined by Representative Dennis Kucinich. And Thursday, he'll sit down with Former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun to hear her thoughts on corporate governance. |
| Intro St. Anselm Youth Forum Return to index of stories... |
Young people around the country have been cramming! Not for final exams, but for the Primary! A "USA Today" program called "America's Youth Forum" gets young people researching, thinking and discussing the issues that are facing the presidential candidates. Celene Ramadan has the story. |
| St. Anselm Youth Forum Return to index of stories... |
How many people here think that voting, effectively, is a waste of time? How many people here think their friends believe that? Today most of our age group, 18-24, doesn't vote. Aren't positive about politics, that kind of thing. America's Youth Forum seeks to do change that. The nationwide program begins in the classroom where for 3 months students educate themselves on the issues facing the candidates in the race for president. The goal of the program is to get more young people interested in politics. If students are given an opportunity to pick an issue that they find is important in their lives and they get some time to research it, they will be engaged. The voting rate for people basically in your age group 18-24 has been going down it's been going down for everybody but particularly going down for people in your age group. Obviously you guys are interested or you wouldn't be here. Um, but, I'm curious - why, do you think? Our generation very much is idealistic and it believes in helping other people and in public service. But many people in our generation don't have faith in public institutions to accomplish those goals. So they're interested in tutoring, soup kitchens, in helping little kids and elderly people individually through social programs but they have no faith in big government institutions so they don't think gov't institutions can effect people's lives. I think it has something to do with people my age - they don't see government helping people. I think that they would actually rather go out and help the people - but I think that's a band aid that doesn't really help the problem. It's a public policy issue that has to do with helping the homeless and feeding the hungry. But I think people my age see it as well at least this is helping now and they're not doing anything at least we're doing something. Well a lot of them don't see it as important because it doesn't relate to their lives. Except for this, the youth forum - coming here and seeing the candidates, there aren't a lot of things that grab my age group. TRACK Through the Youth Forum, students get to interact with the candidates first hand. At the last forum, Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich attended. This one features Wesley Clark. The students submit questions about issues that are important to them. What are the issues changes that students are interested in? The answer may come as a surprise. The number one topic that was asked by students was social security. And it was the first question asked to Gov Dean and I was standing next to a Dean staffer who was surprised that SS was the top issue and I think that when students are given an opportunity as they did in AYF to study the issues and learn about the candidates They learn that SS is a big issue because not only are their parents going to run out of it but they're paying for it and as soon as they get out of college and their likely not to get that. Abortion got a lot of questions, the environment, and Iraq and foreign affairs in general were the top issues. Clip - show a question and answer. I liked what he had to say I thought he was sincere, I agree with most of what he said and I think that he's a real leader in the community and I think he has a lot of good things to bring to the table. I really was pleased. I thought that Clark directly answered all the questions he was asked and if he didn't directly answer them, the students or the moderator backed him up with a follow up so that he could re-focus himself on the question and come up with an actual answer. I thought the students were engaged because he was actually answering the questions and he seemed comfortable up there because he wasn't using you know the "cool" terminology he was using his own speech, I don't know he seemed genuine. Show clip of Clark saying he wanted to stay longer. Clark may have even won himself a vote or two. I was kind of leaning towards Governor Dean - but, I'm not sure now - I might be swayed - really General Wes Clarks confidence, his willingness to spend more time and speak with us, his enthusiasm, experience those are things - Gov. Dean didn't have a lot of international experience. I think gov. Dean is a leader but I don't think he's the same calibur leader as Wes Clark. The feedback from the Clark campaign and from Governor Dean's staff is that this is a first rate program. They thought the questions were very thoughtful and I think they appreciate that it's a different type of event. It's like a town-hall meeting but it's with an age group that's typically not asking questions at a typical town-hall meeting. We think it's programs -those quality programs that reach a depth that will lead to over time more students in the 18-24 year old range form being engaged. I hope that it continues. And I hope that it continues here so I can be a part of it. I think this and other programs like this could strongly boost the youth vote. For New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Celene Ramadan. |
| Intro Debate Messages Return to index of stories... |
Finally, candidate forums and debates are intended for voters to hear the candidates speak on issues. But turn the camera around and you'll see how these events attract a lot of actitvists, as well. At the recent Democratic Primary debate held in Durham, producer Phil Vaughn did just that. Outside of the debate hall, crowds gathered to support their favorite candidate and speak to the media about what they feel is important. |
