If the TakePart.com bloggers had a chance to chat with the candidates tonight, here are our Top 10 questions:

From Andy:

1) What would your strategy be in attempting to halt the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea?

2) What books would you recommend as required reading for all high school seniors, and why?

From Jon:

3) Would you support a measure to limit the length of Federal election campaigns - Presidential, House & Senate - in order to keep holders of elected office doing their jobs working for the people instead of campaigning and fundraising?

4) Once in office, what will you do to change the fact that 500,000+ residents of Washington DC are afforded no voting representation whatsoever in either the House or the Senate?

From Gina:

5) For Senator McCain: I am currently employed and do not have health insurance. According to your plan you would make health insurance something people have to purchase on their own. With the economy how it is, do you really think that Americans are going to be able to afford healthcare, even with your tax credit?

6) And another for McCain: Throughout the campaign I have been upset when talk of ending the war has been equated to “losing the war.” Can you please explain why removing troops from Iraq means losing. And likewise, what exactly “winning” the war in Iraq means, in other words how do we know when we have won?

7) If you could take back one thing you said or did during the campaign thus far, what would it be?

From Martin:

8 ) What is one SPECIFIC way you will work to unite republics and democrats (reach across the aisle, is not an answer)

From Wendy:

9) Why don’t you believe women should have the right to make ALL decisions about their reproductive health and have access to all possible choices in making their decisions?

10) Why do we still vote on Tuesdays?! Do you support the weekend voting act and what are your plans to sustain increased voter participation?

What would you ask to the candidates tonight?! Let us know in the comments!
