2012 Presidential Debate Schedule

Update Aug. 24: The Warren forum was cancelled. Rick Warren says it's because the campaign is toxic. The campaigns say it was because they didn't think it was in their best interest. Warren, after all, has publicly differentiated between Mormons and Christians, so it wasn't in Romney's best interest.
