Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair from New Hampshire Public Television. For the next hour, New Hampshire's candidates for US Senate will discuss some of the most important issues facing the Granite State, New England and the nation in the 21st century. This program is a partnership between the UNH Whittemore School of Business and Economics, the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire, New England Cable News and New Hampshire Public Television. We want to thank our partners and the people at the University of New Hampshire for making this program possible. The candidates are: Governor Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat. Representative John E. Sununu, Republican. And Ken Blevens, Libertarian. The panelists are NECN's Mike Nikitas, Trish Anderton from New Hampshire Public Radio, and Ross Gittell, professor of Management from the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at UNH. The program is divided into three sections, panelist questions; a moderated discussion; and closing statements. All of the candidates have been briefed on the guidelines. A draw determined that would speak first. |

We now enter the moderated section of the debate. Candidates will be asked a question and as before, will rotate first responder. We encourage discussion, but we ask that each candidate give each other time to make his or her point. Each discussion will last approximately five minutes or less. QUESTIONS: Should we insert a few yes or no questions here? How would you resolve the issue of negative campaigning? How do you propose we keep Social Security Solvent? Is reform needed to keep businesses from setting up off-shore corporations? |
