Your campaign has had its ups and its downs. You are approaching a critical phase of debates. This is your opportunity to let the voters see you directly, not through the filtered press or through thirty-second ads. Your performance on stage could well determine the outcome of the election, but there are other critical aspects of Fight Night not seen by the public. What happens before fight night? What items are negotiated with other campaigns and how? What happens in the War Rooms behind the stage and at Headquarters to reinforce your performance and mitigate mistakes? What is the Surrogate operation and what really happens in the Spin Room? We will hear from members of a Presidential Debate Team, and no spin will be allowed. 

Guests:
