by Marianne McCune
NEW YORK, NY October 16, 2008 —The presidential candidates held their last debate last night in Long Island and neither one had many surprises for the viewing public.

But they were largely disappointed. So, as WNYC’s Marianne McCune reports, they held their own series of debates.
