On November 4, Ralph Nader will moderate a debate between Rocky Anderson, Virgil Goode, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein. Although the room only holds an audience of 100 and is already filled with credentialed members of the media, anyone can watch on-line. Go to www.busboysandpoets.com and click on the video stream. The debate is Sunday, 7:30 pm-9:30 pm east coast time. Busboys and Poets is a restaurant that also has a room for public meetings. Note that this event is on the first day of standard time, not daylight savings time.
On November 5, Free and Equal sponsors a debate between Jill Stein and Gary Johnson in Washington, D.C. It is being held in the studio of RT America (“RT” stands for “Russia Today”) and will include a live audience. The debate runs from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. east coast time. The debate will be streamed live by Free & Equal, Free Speech TV, Stitcher, Orion Radio Network, NextNewsNetwork, Yes Magazine, RT America’s YouTube, American Free Perss, and UK-based Reciva Internet Radio. UPDATE: see this criticism of PBS-TV at Irregular Times. So far, at least, PBS-TV hasn’t said it will carry this debate.
Generally, minor party presidential debates are not true debates. The participants use their time to introduce themselves and their stands on issues to the general public, and are not particularly interested in rhetorical battles with the other candidates present. But the Free & Equal Johnson-Stein debate, with only two participants, might possibly emerge as a chance for each of those two candidates to debate the differences between them, particularly economic issues.
I wonder if there’s any chance C-SPAN will cover either debate.
It looks like C-SPAN doesn’t have anything on during those times, so there’s a chance they could air it.
Does anybody know what’s up with IPR? It’s not showing any articles.
Uncensored blockbuster news will be put into words.
IPR is having site hosting issues. It will probably be up on Monday – just a guess.

I thought it’s supposed to be a foreign policy debate?

Does anyone know how to get in the live audience for this debate?
C-Span isn’t televising the debate on November04. They aren’t televising the one between Stein and Johnson on November 05, either.
Last night’s debate was great. I was there. A very fun venue. 2 1/2 hours. Goode was quite forceful and commanding this time.
Johnson was quite good in his content, but to me he always sounds arrogant, petulant and a little prissy.
Stein looked tired and a bit off her game and not all that confident in her answers…mostly reciting agenda rather than making powerful points. Her recent 8 hour lock up during the Romney/Obama debate sounded horrific. I give her points for enduring that.
Anderson looked impressive but sounded….just like Stein. Can anyone explain the difference between the Green and Justice Parties. Now that really does seem like a case of splitting the vote.
Nader was Nader. It was his show and he treated it that way. I admire
him. He brings up many important questions though I often don’t agree with his solutions. He was very fair and cordial to all the candidates. He asked a series of yes/no or pass questions. Pretty interesting, though no candidate likes to be limited to ine word.
Lots of fun and the audience was evenly split and quite congenial.
