Tonight marks the first televised debate among the ten Republican presidential candidates. The event, slated to run 90 minutes, will be televised by MSNBC, which also carried last week’s Democratic debate. The politico.com is co-sponsoring the event and will stream it live over the internet. In a very cool Web 2.0 twist, the politico is also accepting questions submitted via Internet from visitors to its website. The debate will feature three ten-minute segments during which time the candidates will have 30 seconds to respond to questions submitted from Politico readers. So far, more than 3,000 questions have been submitted. Will my question make the final cut?
With ten candidates in the mix, the debate will surly prove a challenge for any of the candidates to get serious air time. In last week’s debate, Barack Obama claimed the most speaking time with 12 minutes. Tonight’s debate will end up taking the form of an intense elevator pitch competition. Perfect for those of us with short attention spans and a touch of ADD.
