What to Ask
Published by William October 5th, 2007 in Education, Miscellaneous Politics, Science, Space & Space Politics, US PoliticsI am currently working at Drexel University, which has recently been scheduled to host the October 30th Democratic Presidential debate. This means, presumably, that I may have the opportunity to ask a question.
Being a mathematician and educator by trade, I am particularly interested in questions on math, science, education, or combinations of these. From a political point of view, I would like to ask a question that is likely to uncover important differences in the stances of candidates should any exist, and to provide an opportunity for candidates to distinguish themselves from the handling of science under the current Administration, which I believe has treated fact and scientific consensus very poorly. Naturally, in addition to the priorities above an ideal question leaves the best-answering candidate looking even better to a large population of voters than he or she did previously, and makes the Democrats look better in general.
This thread is open for suggestions on what to ask.
I’m going to put some thought into this and see what I can come up with. I may not come up with anything, but I’ll give it a shot. :)
Hello William,
The Drexel College Democrats are organizing student involvement in the debate, and we are trying to submit questions for the debate. If you have a good one we would certainly pass it on.
