Students face off in political debate

October 29, 2008

Sophie Novack / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth's chapters of the College Democrats and College Republicans faced off in a debate on the hot issues of the 2008 presidential election in front of a boisterous and packed audience in Rockefeller 3 Tuesday night, in anticipation of Election Day next week. The debate, moderated by government professor Sonu Bedi, featured three College Democrats and three College Republicans who represented presidential candidates Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, respectively. Jennifer Bandy '09, president of the Dartmouth College Republicans, and David Imamura '10, president of the Dartmouth College Democrats, went head to head in spirited exchanges on foreign policy and potential Supreme Court nominations. Bandy argued that McCain's foreign policy experience, military service and ideological positions qualify him to be the country's next commander-in-chief. Imamura responded, saying that, while he respected McCain's military service, Obama has shown superior judgment on issues like nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Right now, America's really at a crossroads in the election," Imamura said.
