On Wednesday, October 3, at 9 pm join Nation writers and readers for a live discussion on the first presidential debate!
The NationWhen you watch presidential debates, do you talk to your television? Did your friends and family not appreciate your brilliant commentary on the RNC and DNC? You’re in luck! This Wednesday, October 3, at 9 pm join Nation writers and readers as we chat about the first presidential debate in real time. Contributors Ari Berman, Leslie Savan, George Zornick and Bryce Covert, TheNation.com Executive Editor Richard Kim and healthcare policy expert Dr. Harold Pollack will be on hand to provide live commentary, interact with readers and respond to questions. You can even join us in a drinking game with rules determined by our twitter followers. So far, we’ve had suggestions to drink when Obama says “look,” when either candidate praises “job creators” or when Mitt Romney claims to understand the middle class, all of which should make for quite the party. To be sure you don’t miss out, RSVP and sign up for an e-mail reminder in the chat box below. See you Wednesday night! For even more smart discussion of the debate, come back to TheNation.com on Thursday, October 4, at 3 pm for a live chat with our editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel on the 2012 election and more!
