According to Neilsen, 60 million people watched the ultimate reality show last Thursday - the first presidential debate from Coral Gables, Fla. I suspect that fewer people will tune in tonight, simply because it's Friday, and people have, well, a life. (Present company excluded, of course.)
Like the last two debates, I'll keep a running list of links to a few pre-debate stories and blog entries right here. A bit later tonight, a "live blogging" thread on the debate will be added (see schedule below). The last two debates have been kind of fun in that respect; sharing impressions with each other as the debates ebbed and flowed. Join us!
