3 for Obama and McCain and 1 vice presidential debate for Tim Kaine, governor of Virginia, and Tim Pawlenty, governor of Minnesota (I'm just guessing here).
These debates will likely seal the deal. Side by side, the differences will be crystal clear.
Schedule:
The first debate planned by the commission is set for September 26 in Oxford, Mississippi, three weeks after the Republican National Convention concludes September 4. The other presidential debates are set for October 7 and October 15 and the vice presidential debate for October 2.
Swamp: Sen. Barack Obama's campaign released a letter today to the Commission on Presidential Debates that accepts their framework for three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate.
Campaign manager David Plouffe's language in the letter also seems to suggests it is unlikely Obama will take Sen. John McCain up on his challenge for additional town-hall-style debates.
