Maybe's there a debate tonight... maybe not...

There were some interesting stories floating around earlier today when we were waiting to hear whether the debate was on for tonight. Aside from the fact it's ridiculous to me that we didn't hear until mid-afternoon whether the first debate of the season was even going to happen after months of planning, but there were a few varied sources on the web.

CNN.com, usually my first stop, had a link at about noon to watch live coverage of debating whether the actual debate would go on. The Miami Herald had a story updated early in the morning questioning it but didn't have news that it's on until mid-afternoon. The first place I saw the news was on Time.com, which incidentally has a partnership with CNN.

I guess I was a little caught off guard by the fact there was a lot of speculation and not much information out there, especially (selfishly) since I wanted to know my evening plans. I guess I should learn my lesson and not rely on immediate political campaign trail news since it's all about playing favorites anyway. Or just TiVo the thing like I'm doing now once I realized my roommate got one...

Even when the "news" was posted that it was "on", I didn't believe it until I saw it happening. A bizarre event that was nearly a non-event.
