From Daily Kos:
Warren with Obama:
Q. OKAY LET’S GO TO EDUCATION. AMERICA RIGHT NOW 23 RANKS 19TH IN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. WE’RE FIRST IN INCARCERATIONS.
A. NOT GOOD.
Q. NOT GOOD. 80 PERCENT OF AMERICANS RECENT POLE SAID THEY BELIEVE IN MERIT PAY FOR TEACHERS.
1. I’M NOT ASKING DO YOU THINK ALL TEACHERS SHOULD GET A RAISE.
2. DO YOU THINK BETTER TEACHERS SHOULD BE PAID BETTER?
2. DO YOU THINK BETTER TEACHERS SHOULD BE PAID BETTER?
3. THEY SHOULD BE MAKING MORE THAN POOR TEACHERS?
So, essentially on this topic, there were technically only two questions, the ones I've labelled 2 and 3. But one COULD make the argument that the comment I labelled as 1 was also a question.
Now to McCain:
Now to McCain:
Q ALL RIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT EDUCATION. AMERICA 18 RANKS 19TH IN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS, BUT WE’RE FIRST IN 19 INCARCERATION. EVERYBODY SAYS THEY WANT MORE ACCOUNTABILITY IN SCHOOLS?
A UH-HUH.
Q ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF AMERICA SAYS THEY SUPPORT MERIT PAY FOR THE BEST TEACHERS. NOW, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR STUMP SPEECH ON EDUCATION?
A YES. YES. AND FIND BAD TEACHERS ANOTHER LINE OF WORK.
Q YOU KNOW –
A CAN I –
Q YOU ARE ANSWERING SO QUICKLY.
A CAN I –
Q YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME OF POKER?
From Warren:
To avoid bias, and give America a true and fair comparison the questions to both candidates will be identical to provide a fair comparison, although the follow-up questions may differ, based on their response.
Sen. Barack Obama will be interviewed first, as determined by the flip of a coin. To insure fairness, Sen. McCain will not hear the questions of the first hour.
The Saddleback Civil Forum will focus on the core convictions of each candidate that would shape how each one would lead and their views on America's role, direction, and culture. Each interview will be segmented into four themes of 12 ½ minutes each:
STEWARDSHIP: Questions on the constitution, the role of government, security, education, energy
LEADERSHIP: Questions on personal character, competence, convictions, experience to be president
WORLDVIEW: Questions on life, family, evil, freedom, Christianity, Islam
AMERICA'S ROLE IN THE WORLD: Questions on going to war, on America's responsibility to bless other nations, poverty and disease, human rights, religious liberty, corruption, vision for America.
And this catch from transcript of Q & A with Warren and McCain:
Warren: DEFINE MARRIAGE.
A UH-HUH.

Warren: DEFINE MARRIAGE.
McCain: A UNION — A UNION BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN, BETWEEN
ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, THAT’S MY DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE.
ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, THAT’S MY DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE.
McCain: ARE WE GOING TO GET BACK TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
Warren: WE’LL GET TO THAT.
McCain: ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
Warren: YOU GOT ALL MY QUESTIONS, GOOD.
