Edwards vs Crashcart ...when does the VP debate take place?

and are the "rules" as ridiculous? Does anyone have info? I've REALLY been looking forward to Edwards ripping Ol'Beelzebub a new one, smiling sweetly all the while.

I'm so there.

I'll serve Cheney-kabobs. Any info on the restrictions?

Found this, not sure if it's up to date.
