Oct. 3, 2012 - The highly anticipated, first Presidential Debate of 2012 is tonight, America. The fun goes from 9:00 to 10:00 PM (Eastern Time / 0100-0230 UTC) tonight.

We've got a list of where you can watch or hear Mitt Romney and Barack Obama duke it out.

Will moderator Jim Lehrer have to pull them apart? (We sure hope so. Don't you?)

The debates will be carried live from the University of Denver by many major television and radio networks. You can also watch the presidential debate live on the Internet.

Tonight's debate "will focus on domestic policy and be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on topics to be selected by the moderator and announced several weeks before the debate," according to 2012 Election Central. "The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a discussion of the topic."
