"SNIP......................................

The format for three presidential debates in October has been set. President Obama and Mitt Romney will face off in debates on domestic and foreign policy and in a town-hall-style meeting with questions from undecided voters.

The details were released on Wednesday by the Commission on Presidential Debates. Each debate will last 90 minutes and have one moderator.

The first debate, on Oct. 3 at the University of Denver, will focus on domestic policy, according to a news release from the commission. There will be six segments, each lasting 15 minutes, with topics selected by the moderator and announced in advance.

The second debate will be a town-hall-style meeting on domestic and foreign issues that will take place on Oct. 16 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.

1. The big question is can Romney answer a direct question with a direct answer without saying I will

Have to get back to you on that

2. Ah.. debates have been dumbed down for America. Greaaat.

I remember when people actually used to be learned and well read. They kept up on issues, and knew enough to know when someone was lying.

Hate these stupid town hall clusterfucks. There is no on there to fact check Romney as he flat out lies his way through it. Why does everything have to be brought down to the Walmart level in America? How about debates with a real journalist moderator, who will follow up to Romney's answers, which will be lies?

3. I will probably watch the third debate on foreign policy and skip the other two.
