“There you go again.”
“I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience.”

Watch the exclusive video here.
These are some of the great lines from presidential and vice presidential debate history. Newsmax has compiled these and many others in a nine-minute video montage which features the previous quotes from President Ronald Reagan, and Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, the 1988 Democratic vice presidential nominee.
The debate season is about to get underway on Oct. 3 in Denver. What line from the Denver showdown will be added to this collection of the most memorable in the future? Which zinger will be played alongside those of Reagan and which weak response will be invoked in future showdowns?
Will it be Mitt Romney lecturing President Barack Obama on the perils of big government? Or will Obama send Romney against the ropes with rhetoric about the “47 percent”?
Either way, it will be exciting to watch and this montage will help set the stage.
