Worth noting that all the available recordings of primary debates from 1984 forward are on C-SPAN's website, 1984 and 1988 are particularly amusing, including one where Al Gore makes an epic joke about Jesse Jackson. And there's a 1984 one where the Democrats argue over who will raise taxes the most.
