For those looking to see if Obama will send Romney flying (he probably will, but we’ll be impartial….for now) in tonight’s debate, you can tune in right on this post at 9pm EST. Also, we noticed that Google Adsense has apparently decided to push Romney’s ads on our website. Definitely not our choice, so disregard (or click the ad to take some money out of their pockets to put in ours).
Here’s how it will work: The moderator will pose a prepared question to a candidate and the candidate will have 2 minutes to answer. Their opponent will then have one minute for rebuttal. The moderator can, at his discretion, extend the candidates time by 30 seconds on either end.
In reality, these rules are merely guidelines (especially since neither side has actually agreed to the rules). Some media outlets will seek to address this lack of structure … CNN, for example, will be running a game clock calculating the total time each candidate gets to speak.
