Final presidential debate to feature cooking segment
The second presidential debate featured a town hall format in which the candidates felt quite comfortable talking to voters. Now there's a report that the final debate will feature a 20 minute cooking segment. It's an unprecedented event during a presidential debate that has surprised a lot of political pundits. But both the McCain and Obama campaigns are on board.
"You've got to understand that both candidates are trying to connect with those undecided voters," says Prof. Joseph Claskew of Aruna College of Political Studies. "Americans watch a lot of television. They love talk shows, and they especially love it when the shows have those cooking segments. It actually makes a lot of sense to have the candidates in a cooking segment. It will make them seem more human. Plus, Americans will get to see if either candidate can stand the heat in the kitchen."
The Providence Record reports that John McCain has been consulting with Martha Stewart while Barack Obama has been prepping with Rachel Ray. There's an unconfirmed report that McCain's camp is trying to negotiate an animal segment with Jack Hannah. There are a lot of undecided animal lovers who would like to see how the candidates handle animals.
