WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top candidates for the White House should meet in three debates beginning on September 26, 2008, which would feature extended discussions and the chance to directly address each other, the panel sponsoring the debates recommended on Monday.

The first debate would be at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, with the second on October 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, and the third on October 15 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.

A debate between vice presidential contenders is scheduled for October 2, 2008, at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, according to the Commission on Presidential Debates, which administers the general election encounters.
