debate schedule 08

This is a tenative timetable for the presidential debates (and VP as well)

Debate schedule:

Sept 26th - Domestic Policy - Univ of Mississippi, Oxford, MS
Oct 2nd - VP Debate - Washington University, St. Louis, MO
Oct 7th - Townhall format - Belmont Univ, Nashville, TN
Oct 15th - Foreign policy - Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY

All 4 debates will begin at 8pm CT, and last for 90 minutes. All 4 debates will be broadcast on the major broadcast networks, including CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX. They will also be aired on cable news channels such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and C-SPAN. PBS will also televise some of the debates and it is not known how many.

PBS is probably the best to watch for they limit talking heads comments during the discussions. If one watched the conventions, talking heads regularly interrupted and folks missed critical speeches and information.

Perhaps we shall have a treat and the folks finally discuss positions instead of nonsense, half truths and general waste of time.
