2008 Democratic Debate Tonight
posted by September 26 at 11:45 AM
onThis one will take place in New Hampshire, will be moderated by Tim Russert, and is being put on by MSNBC. It airs at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. PST), and will also be streamed live at msnbc.com.
Also: Tomorrow John Edwards will become the first presidential candidate to do an online town-hall forum put together by MTV and MySpace. The idea:
MTV viewers and MTV.com and MySpace users will be able to submit questions for the events through MySpaceIM, mobile devices and e-mail while they watch the live webcast. At the same time, online viewer reaction will be monitored through live polling on both MTV.com and MySpace.com.
All of the candidates, Republican and Democrat, will do one of these online town-hall meetings—at least, that’s what MTV and MySpace hope. So far, Edwards is the only one to have set a date.

Too bad I'll be at the SPACE in Fremont arts fundraiser at PCC Fremont at the wine tasting instead ...
YEAH another debate to continue to turn people off to the candidates.
Let's see, we have a two year election cycle since the one thing everyone complained about was how our election process is just too damn short. I remember in 2000 and 2004 I thought to myself "Gee, I wish this could go on for a couple of years!" And I know other voters felt the same way!
Then let's have lots of debates so all the candidates can say all the really stupid sound bites that will be used against them in the general election! Yes, that is totally brilliant!!
This two year cycle of campainging is going to bite someone in the ass next fall and I bet it will be the Democrats.
Any word on whether this debate will be available live to those of us who aren't willing to pay Microsoft, Apple, or a cable or satellite T.V. company for the privilege? Previous debates have required one of the above, due to the decision to offer them only on pay T.V. and streaming on the Internet using proprietary methods that require licensing.
I do believe I'll watch South Park reruns instead.
You can usually watch them delayed on CNN at 9 or 10pm PST if they are shown on the east coast at 9pm EST.
