Video: 'George W. Bush and Al Gore 2nd Presidential Debate 2000'

(Wednesday, October 11, 2000, 9:00-10:30 p.m. EDT; during the 2000 United States presidential election) — Texas Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore agreed more than they disagreed tonight in an event that was often closer to a cordial conversation than a debate as they exchanged views on tense foreign conflicts and domestic matters like racial profiling, gun control and same-sex marriage.

The forum in Winston-Salem, N.C., was a striking departure from the first debate a week ago in Boston, when they energetically took deeply different stands on issues like taxes and prescription drugs that have been at the heart of the presidential race.
