10.09 - Gubernatorial Debate (Part II)

Today, we resumed watching the gubernatorial debate between Eliot Cutler, Governor LePage, and Mike Michaud. We used the same note-sheet to track their responses to questions and whether or not their responses contained any logical fallacies. After the first round of questions we saw today, we transitioned to a logical fallacy based game modeled after Bingo! called "Talko!" that I made for the debate. We used this for the next two rounds of questions though nobody was able to get five fallacies in a row.
