Madalene at the Debate
In an interesting twist, Madalene is going to be present at the Presidential Debate airing tonight at 8:00pm CST. The debate is being held at Washington University, only blocks from our home. Madalene was chosen by Gallup for participating, and is one of only 140 audience members allowed in.
The format of the debate is ‘town-hall’ meaning some questions will be asked by members of the audience. Each audience member submits two questions to the moderator, Charles Gibson, from which he will choose 15-20 that he will have the audience members ask.
I don’t have a way of knowing before hand if Madalene will be chosen to ask a question, so we’ll just have to watch and see!
Its an exciting event, and she has spent all day with the group, being checked out by Secret Service and preparing her questions. This is an important debate, and it is great that she is a part of it. Make sure you tune in!
If you want to watch the debate, you can see it at 8:00pm CST on most channels. NBC, CBS, and even FOX are showing it. You can also listen to the debate on your local NPR station or even listen to it live on the NPR website.

YAY, Madalene! I did see you as the camera swept by every now and again. I wish you could have asked a question. I noted a lack of young voices in the room. But, YAY, Madalene!!
Yay Madeline…we saw you too. I hope that it was a very interesting and enlightening experience. C’mon now…you have to admit that it was kinda neat to be on NATIONAL television
you’re probably the most famous person I know!
