where to view tonight's debate
2012-Oct-03, Wednesday 02:58 pmYou can view tonight's presidential debate at... apparently... only a single url. It will feature presidential candidates Jill Stein (Green) and Rocky Anderson (Justice) as they answer the same questions posed to Barack Obama (Democratic) and Mitt Romney (Republican). The viewer count is bouncing up and down, but it's currently at 12,468 people for this first-of-its-kind presidential debate. Too bad the livestream is not cutting from Jim Lehrer after he poses a question. The video feed is almost all Obama/Romney instead of Stein/Anderson.
An interesting panel of people are assembled to discuss the official broadcast debate between Obama and Romney. I thought these were the people who would be posing questions to the 3rd-party presidential candidates. I was wrong, sorry. It's actually an unrelated 3rd simultaneous event on this night.
Prior to the debate, some people marched in Denver to protest the 2-party lock-in by the corporate Commission For Presidential Debates. I thought it would be staged outside the location of the official debate, but I can't tell where it happened.
Color me disappointed. Apparently I won't get my opportunity to hear presidential candidates discuss meaty issues.
*SIGH*
