The Value Voters Debate, held on September 17th, 2007, pit many of the socially conservative members of the [[Republican Party]] against each other in a contest to win the votes of one of America's most important voting blocs. [[Mike Huckabee]] won the debate, although all candidates stood up for strong [[Christian]] values, relative to [[Democrat]] candidates, who did not show. The debaters were, in order of votes received,
(Present)
*[[Mike Huckabee]] 63%
*[[Ron Paul]] 12%
*[[Alan Keyes]] 7%
*[[Sam Brownback]] 5%
*[[Duncan Hunter]] 4%
*[[Fred Thompson]] 4%
*[[Tom Tancredo]] 2%
*[[John Cox]] 1%
(No-shows)
*[[Rudy Giuliani]] 1%
*[[John McCain]] 1%
*[[Mitt Romney]]<ref>Value Voters Debate, http://www.valuesvoterdebate.com/</ref>
==Structure==
The debate took the form of first a question and answer session, where prominent "panelists" would pose questions to candidates. Conservative luminary [[Phyliss Schlafly]] was among the panelists, and she received wide praise from the candidates. Also present was the [[Discovery Institute]].
This session was followed by a series of questions in which the candidates were invited to respond "yes" or "no" to politically charged questions. Almost all candidates voted together on major issues, with the exception of [[Ron Paul]], whose personal style distinguished him from the others.
