| 释义 |
The 1992 vice-presidential debate was part of the 1992 presidential election. The participants were Democratic candidate, U.S. Senator Al Gore from Tennessee; Independent candidate, retired Vice Admiral James Stockdale; and Republican candidate, incumbent Vice President Dan Quayle. It was held on Tuesday, October 13, 1992. The debate was held at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia. Hal Bruno of ABC News served as moderator. Stockdale, Perot's running mate, became an object of ridicule afterwards including being lampooned on Saturday Night Live. Stockdale often seemed confused and disoriented; at one point he asked that a question be repeated because his hearing aid was not on. At another point when asked about abortion, Stockdale merely said "What a woman does with her body is her business period". However, it should be pointed out that Stockdale only had one week to prepare for the debate and had not discussed any of the issues with Perot beforehand. At one point, when Quayle and Gore were squabbling back and forth, Stockdale said, "I think you can see why this country is in gridlock". External links
