Here’s some info on tonight’s debate. It will be interesting to see what questions the biased Brokaw picks.
Tonight’s presidential debate will employ a town hall format, in which audience members will question the candidates directly.
When: Starts at 9 p.m. Detroit time. Expected to last 90 minutes.
Where: From Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.
How to watch: It is to be broadcast on most major networks and cable news channels. You also can watch it live on freep.com.
Rules: –The questions will be culled from a group of 100 to 150 uncommitted likely voters in the audience and another one-third to come via the Internet. Brokaw selects which questions to ask from written queries submitted prior to the debate.
–The Gallup Organization makes sure the questioners reflect the demographic makeup of the nation.
–An audience member isn’t allowed to switch questions and will not be allowed a follow-up either. His or her microphone will be turned off after the question is read and a camera shot will only be shown of the person asking — not reacting.
–The moderator may not ask followups or make comments.
–McCain and Obama will be provided with director’s chairs, but they’re also allowed to stand. They can’t roam past their “designated area” marked on the stage and are not supposed to ask each other direct questions.
