This event marked the unofficial opening of the general election and served as a prequel to the fall debates as the two candidates discussed, although not simultaneously, a range of faith-related, character, leadership and humanitarian issues. Rick Warren first interviewed Barack Obama for an hour (with commercial breaks). Afterward, John McCain came on stage. For a brief moment, the two candidates greeted one another, shaking hands. Obama then left while McCain began his own hour with Warren.
