Since the presidential race is more or less a draw at the moment (most states are dead even or within the statistical margin of error), the debates between the candidates will be crucial in how the American people decide who they will vote for. There will be three Presidential debates and one Vice Presidential debate over the next few weeks, each with their own set of topics. I would encourage you to catch as many of them as you can so that you can be as informed as possible before making your voting decision. Here's the lineup:
As always, I'll recap all of these debates with quotes, clips, and impressions as appropriate after they occur. Stay tuned!
Friday, Sept. 26: Presidential debate on foreign policy and national security, moderated by Jim Lehrer of PBS at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi, with the candidates standing at lecterns.
Thursday, Oct. 2: Vice-presidential debate, moderated by Gwen Ifill of PBS at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
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 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, in a town hall-style format.
Wednesday, Oct. 15: Presidential debate on domestic and economic policy, moderated by Bob Schieffer of CBS News at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, with candidates seated at a table.
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.
