The announcement has been made! The dates have been set! The topics have been assigned! The moderators are ready to moderate!
Here is the schedule for the 2008 Presidential Debates!
The First Debate
Date: September 26th, the University of Mississippi
Moderator: Jim Lehrer, PBS 'NewsHour' host
Format: Discussion on Foreign Policy and National Security Issues
Each candidate will get two minutes to respond to a question, followed by an open discussion for another five minutes.
The Second Debate
Date: October 7th, Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee
Moderator: Tom Brokaw, of NBC
Format: Town Hall with questions coming from audience members and queries sent over the internet
The Presidential Debate Commission said earlier this month that Gallup will choose undecided voters from in or around the Nashville, Tennessee area to participate in the town hall, and Brokaw will review each question before it is posed to avoid duplication.
The Final Debate
Date: October 15th, Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York
Moderator: Bob Scheiffer, CBS 'Face The Nation' host
Format: Discussion on Domestic and Economic Policy Issues
The Hofstra faceoff will be the only debate where each candidate will have the chance to make a 90-second closing statement.
The Vice Presidential Debate
Date: October 2nd, Washington University in St. Louis
Moderator: Gwen Ifill, 'NewsHour'
Format: Discussion on Domestic and Foreign Policy
*The structure of this debate is similar to the first presidential debate. This will be divided into eight 10 minute segments. The first five minutes will include a two minute response from each candidate about a specific issue, and the last five minutes will be an open discussion where the candidates can converse.*
