who else will be watching?

The forum will be broadcast live from the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC. Tavis Smiley of PBS will be the moderator. Meet the panelists who will also be questioning the candidates.

According to the PBS press release here (PDF file): "The candidates will be asked about issues ranging from healthcare and housing to Katrina relief, the economy and the environment, among others outlined in the #1 The New York Times best-seller, Covenant With Black America."

The only thing that gave me pause was that Frank Luntz (everybody's favorite right-leaning pollster) will be providing "immediate public feedback" post-debate. Blech.



Program info: Airing on PBS @ 9-10:30pm EDT (8-9:30pm CDT)

Also streaming live on the web here. It will apparently be archived for later download according to the same PBS press release referenced above.
