A Different Kind of Debate

Here we have a clip from the Presidential Debate between Cain and Gingrich and it is clearly not the kind of debate we are used to seeing in the election/campaign process. The two are sitting together at a table and, far from debating, are helping each other along as if they are running together. This "Lincoln-Douglas" style debate allows both candidates to speak for longer and make each other look good so both end up leaving with a positive a performance as possible, rather than one trying to make the other look like a fool.
