Though the economic crisis (and proposed bailout) is the top news headline this week, there is still a debate scheduled for the two men hoping to be the next Commander-in-Chief.
The first general election debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain is set for tonight at 8 pm (coverage begins at 7 pm).
I keep my TV on CNN but I'm sure all other major networks will be broadcasting it as well.
Tonight's debate will be held at the University of Mississippi (the poorest state in the USA) and moderated by PBS's Jim Lehrer. CLICK HERE for more on the debate format.
The rest of the debate schedule is as follows:
- October 2: Vice Presidential Debate (Biden and Palin) at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, moderated by PBS's Gwen Ifill
- October 7: Presidential Debate at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, moderated by NBC's Tom Brokaw
- October 15: Presidential Debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, moderated by CBS's Bob Schieffer
All debates will begin at 8 pm.
Going into this debate, polls show Obama is ahead in the public with an approval rating of 47% versus McCain's 43% (which means there are still 10% undecided).
I'm hoping this debate pushes Obama's numbers over 50% for GOOD.
