Join us for the 2nd Presidential Debate tonight around 8:45pm Eastern for our continuing live blog of the debates. The gloves have come off lately between Barack Obama and John McCain and the war of accusations has escalated so this could be a debate to remember. Also making it interesting is that the format of the debate is more of a town hall style with questions being asked from the audience. The conventional wisdom is that John McCain is better at this style of debate than Barack Obama. Judging by the recent polls John McCain needs to do well during this debate. Obama is said to have locked up an estimated 264 electoral votes, needing only 270 to win. That is of course, according to scientific, but imperfect polls.
Will John McCain rise up again after being counted out? Will Obama dodge McCain’s attacks and do some attacking of his own? Join us below to find out.

Ugh, more noise. Why do I keep watching these debates?
Maybe a better question is, why do we keep sanctioning debates that exclude third party candidates by watching and participating in them?
