Second Presidential Debate TONIGHT!

Posted October 8, 2004, 1:17 p.m.

The second debate between President George W. Bush (R) and Senator John Kerry (D-MA) will occur tonight at 9:00 at Washington University. The debate will be covered on most television networks and news channels (I recommend C-SPAN for unfettered coverage).

Tonight’s debate will be in a Town Hall style and moderated by ABC News’s Charlie Gibson. Gibson will select questioners from among the audience, all of whom will be undecided voters. Questions will be about both foreign and domestic policy issues.

Be sure to tune in! As usual, I’ll post my analysis for your enjoyment sometime tonight or tomorrow.
