Second presidential debate tonight!

With four weeks left till Election Day, the presidential race is heating up! The second of three presidential debates is tonight at 9pm EST, so I hope everyone's popped their popcorn, read up on their election coverage and generally made their debate preparations, because I think its going to be a good one. This debate is in the "townhall" style where questions are going to be asked either from a pool of undecided voters or by moderator, Tom Brokaw, from questions submitted via the internet. There are some pretty specific rules about the townhall (for instance, people who asked questions will be filmed asking the questions but not reacting) and there is also no follow-up questions or direct questioning between the candidates. Regardless, it promises to be an exciting viewing so I hope everyone tunes in! Check it out on any number of networks and cable stations at 9pm ESt/8pm CST/6pm PST.If you want to read more, check out a post from the Chicago Sun-Times, here <http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/10/mccain_obama_deal_puts_limits.html>
