debates

BEDFORD--Social Security and the future of the program took center stage in a Senate debate between former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) and current U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley).

In the debate sponsored by the AARP, Sununu said he has offered a plan to make Social Security solvent for future generations, while Shaheen questioned plans to privatize the program in light of the stock market's decline.

U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord) has announced that he has agreed to participate in three debates against his opponent Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua).

However, the Horn campaign said that of the three debates, it has currently only officially agreed to one, but stressed a desire to have a debate every week between now and Election Day.

Hodes has agreed to debates that will take place on Sept. 22, Oct. 17 and Oct. 28. Hodes and Horn have both agreed to AARP debate on Sept. 22 at New England College.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- For New Hampshire Republicans and political junkies alike there are options on the television set tonight. Two Republican Congressional debates or the Republican National Convention. Which will you watch?
