Recent Republican presidential debates have featured sharp exchanges between candidates on immigration, No Child Left Behind, U.S. policy toward Pakistan, and Gov. Rick Perry’s HPV virus directive in Texas, as well as controversies over audience reactions to questions about the death penalty and gays in the military. But those topics and more could be off the table at the next debate, set for Tuesday, October 11 at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, which organizers have decided to restrict to a single subject: the economy.

“With the nation facing sustained high unemployment as well as concern over deficits, weak growth and a possible double-dip recession, the Bloomberg/Washington Post debate will devote the entire program to a substantive exploration of the candidates’ specific plans for a national economic recovery,” says a release from Bloomberg News.  The debate will be moderated by public television’s Charlie Rose.
