Is the debate tonight going to be broadcast online somewhere? And at what time (and timezone) is it?

Each debate starts at 9PM Eastern time!

September 26, 2008: (Tickets) Presidential debate with foreign policy focus, University of Mississippi, Oxford, MS

October 2, 2008: (Tickets) Vice Presidential debate, Washington University, St. Louis, MO

October 7, 2008: (Tickets) Presidential debate in a town hall format, Belmont University, Nashville, TN

October 15, 2008: (Tickets) Presidential debate with domestic policy focus, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY

I’m not sure about where on-line to see it. Usually, I can get a live feed form CNN or MSNBC.

Thank you very much!

Not being in the US, I figured they had to show them online somewhere.

And now I just saw that RÚV (Icelands “BBC”) is showing it tonight. Why didn’t I just check the TV-guide first?

:smack:

But thank you both for the responses!
