Wow. I knew social media had grown important in our politics, but they’re actually holding a debate in Farmville?
Nothing on the west coast?
I think Washington University in St. Louis gets a presidential debate almost every time around it seems.
Yeah, but you can only watch if you “like” one of the candidates first.
Then they continue on to list three. Next paragraph the vice presidential debate is listed.
Might it have made more sense to lead off with "there will be four general election debates … "
I thought for a moment I lost my ability to count to 4. [okay so I’m a little picky … it’s a cranky day]
