Debategate
Debategate or briefing-gate was a political scandal affecting the administration of Ronald Reagan; it took place in the final days of the 1980 presidential election. Reagan's team had somehow acquired President Jimmy Carter's briefing papers he used in preparation for the October 28, 1980 debate with Reagan. The briefing papers were never specified to be vital strategy memos or just routine position papers. This leak of campaign papers was not divulged to the public until late June 1983, after Laurence Barrett published ''Gambling With History: Reagan in the White House'', an in-depth account of the Reagan administration's first two years.
==1980 presidential debate==
(詳細は1980 U.S. presidential election to feature both President Jimmy Carter and Republican challenger Ronald Reagan took place on 28 October 1980. Key aides involved in the Reagan debate preparation were James Baker, David Gergen and David Stockman. They had access to briefing papers from the Carter campaign.〔Morton Kondracke, ''The New Republic'', 18 July 1983, (Debategate )〕 The importance of these documents is still in question. At the time this debate took place, Reagan was ahead in the polls 43 to 37 with 11 percent undecided. The stakes were high for this debate especially since Carter had the possibility of an October surprise, such as the release of the hostages in Iran.
House Speaker Tip O'Neill said that the debate ultimately did not affect the outcome of the election, arguing that an unpopular Carter would have lost even if he had been seen to "win" the debate.〔Godfrey Sperling, ''Christian Science Monitor'', 30 June 1980, (President's disclaimers may not clear air on debate-book ethics )〕
