The Lincoln-Douglas Debates were a series of 7 debates held throughout the windswept steppes of Wenatchee during the Senate campaign of 2008. Unlike modern Senate campaigns in Illinois, the candidates were not an Al Qeda operative and dude from Maryland. Like modern campaigns however the candidates were a corrupt Democratic candidate from Chicago running against an inept Republican candidate from downstate. The campaign also differed from today in that the average voter actually gave a rat's ass about the election.

  • The Lincoln-Douglas Debates were a series of 7 debates held throughout the windswept steppes of Wenatchee during the Senate campaign of 2008. Unlike modern Senate campaigns in Illinois, the candidates were not an Al Qeda operative and dude from Maryland. Like modern campaigns however the candidates were a corrupt Democratic candidate from Chicago running against an inept Republican candidate from downstate. The campaign also differed from today in that the average voter actually gave a rat's ass about the election. The two candidates were two of the shining lights of Illinois politics, James "Buster" Douglas the former World Heavy Weight Champion of Debating and Abraham Lincoln, a backwoods hick. The major issue of the day was slavery, and the race held national prominence. While Douglas won the election, the national attention would aid in Lincoln's bid for President two years later...again opposing Douglas. Douglas would die before serving out his Senate term while Lincoln would go on to the relative obscurity of the U.S. Presidency.
