The MSNBC and CNN websites are the only places you can watch the debate online, as far as I know of.
It starts at 9PM, EST and will consist of 9 different 9 minute segments (so roughly 90 minutes plus commercial and station breaks) moderated by veteran general election debate-mod PBS’ Jim Lehrer.
The first half of each of these 9 minute chunks will be Lehrer asking the candidates questions, the second half will be the two candidates responding to one another and addressing another one-on-one.
The topic of this debate is foreign policy, but with a week like we just had, Lehrer would be remiss not to ask any questions that relate to the economy. Also look out for the candidates to circle their answers back towards economic issues.
Wow! What about our economy boys???????
