With the first debate this Friday, it looks like we’ll be needing a thread on this, and I thought I’d start by posting the information on the debate schedule:
[quote]Friday, Sept. 26: Presidential debate on foreign policy and national security, moderated by Jim Lehrer of PBS…
Thursday, Oct. 2: Vice-presidential debate, moderated by Gwen Ifill of PBS…
Tuesday, Oct. 7 Presidential debate with questions on any topic from those in attendance and from the Internet, moderated by Tom Brokaw of NBC News…in a town hall-style format.
Wednesday, Oct. 15 Presidential debate on domestic and economic policy, moderated by Bob Schieffer of CBS News…
All four debates will last 90 minutes. They will be carried live by CNN International and BBC World and will begin at 1 a.m. the following day, Coordinated Universal Time. CNN will also replay the debates 8 and 18 hours later, starting at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. UTC.
Sample starting times for the first debate:
New York, 9 p.m. Friday
Paris, 3 a.m. Saturday
Hong Kong, 9 a.m. Saturday[/quote]
