2008 Presidential Campaign Debate Schedule

I’m surprised that I have so much difficulty in coming up with topics to discuss this week.

Other than the financial crisis and the deadlock in Congress over the bailout, there isn’t much going on.  Both of the Presidential campaigns and Vice-Presidential campaigns seem to be flying low this week.

So, just to fill up a little space, I am going to set forth the schedule for the remaining Presidential Campaign Debates.  At least I will now know where to quickly find the schedule.

Vice Presidential Debate:

October 2, 2008, Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Moderator: Gwen Ifill. Time:  9 pm, Eastern Time. Length: 90 minutes.

Presidential Debates:

October 7, 2008, Belmont University in Nashville, TN. Moderator: Tom Brokaw. Time:  9 pm, Eastern Time. Length: 90 minutes.

October 15, 2008, Hofstra University in Hempsted, NY. Moderator: Bob Schieffer. Time:  9 pm, Eastern Time. Length: 90 minutes.

And just for the historical record of really, really interested readers, the first Presidential debate of the 2008 campaign was held on September 26, 2008, at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, MS. The moderator was Jim Lehrer.
