Presidential Debates, Formats Announced: MS, TN and NY get the Presidential Honors

All subject to negotiation and change, of course, by the candidates and their representatives themselves.

Friday, September 26 -- a presidential debate on domestic policy at the University of Mississippi, Oxford (whoops -- a previous version of this post said Biloxi.)

Thursday, October 2 -- a vice presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis

Tuesday, October 7 -- a presidential debate -- town hall meeting format, Belmont University, Nashville, TN

And October 16, a presidential debate about foreign policy at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY.

And the CPD has kept its ballot access requirements in check: in order to participate, candidates' parties need to be on enough ballots to provide them with a mathematical chance of winning... and must receive 15% or higher in reputable public opinion polls.

Two southern debates? None west of St. Louis? Is this a joke? Move that town hall forum West.

Also, they seem to prepping for a subway series on that final debate. why not just move it to shea stadium?

The University of Mississippi isn't in Biloxi. Pretty much the exact opposite of Biloxi, in fact.

This is a joke. Nothing beyond the Mississippi (basically...)? One in Florida and one in the Wes/Southwest is a must.

Actually it looked like they were setting up for Fred vs. Hillary (somewhat tilted for Fred).

If the 4,000 debates this year have shown us voters anything, its that the debates themselves are pointless.
