2012 Presidential Debate Schedule

The dates and venues have been announced for the 2012 Presidential debates between President Obama and Mitt Romney. The date for the Vice Presidential debate has also been announced.

Tickets for the 2012 general election debates are controlled by the Commission on Presidential Debates and are extremely limited since the debates are primarily produced for television. The majority of tickets are distributed to host university students and faculty through a lottery system with the remaining tickets going to friends and families of the campaigns and the media. Please contact the individual colleges hosting the debates for specific ticketing information.

All debates will be streamed live online

October 3, 2012
Topic: Domestic policy
Air Time: 9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time

Obams is going to trounce Romney.

It will be painfully obvious that the Republicans, at best, only have half-assed plans and no clue what they are talking about.
