Final 2008 Presidential Debate TONIGHT

Posted October 15, 2008, 1:04 p.m.

The final formal Presidential debate between Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) will be held tonight at 9pm EDT. This is the last of three scheduled general election debates between the two major-party candidates. Third-party candidates are excluded from participation.

Tonight’s debate will be held at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York, and will be moderated by CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer.

I strongly recommend that all Americans watch this debate, as it is the last Presidential debate between now and the November elections. For unfettered coverage, I recommend watching the debates on C-SPAN rather than any of the commercial broadcast and cable news outlets.
