Presidential debate schedule

Since I've been getting a lot of traffic recently from people Googling "general election debate schedule" or something similar who are finding my post on the *Clean Elections* general election debate schedule, here is what those people are likely looking for - the schedule of debates for the Presidential election.

Each debate will begin at 9:00 p.m. EST.

While each debate will be moderated by someone from an MSM organization, the debates will be broadcast on multiple cable and broadcast networks. I recommend C-SPAN.

According to the Navy, daylight saving time doesn't end until November 2 this year, so all of the debates should begin at 6:00 p.m. AZ time, though you should check your local listings to be sure.

Later!
