What Time is the Debate?

The third presidential debate with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is scheduled for 8 p.m. Central on Monday, Oct. 22.

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney be seated at a round table Monday night for a  more traditional debate compared to last week's townhall-style event where they paced, circled and slung rhetorical stones and arrows at the other.

The third and final presidential debate between Obama and Romney is set for 8 p.m. Central on Monday, Oct. 22, 2012.

According to the Commission on Presidential Debates, "The format for the debate will be identical to the first presidential debate and will focus on foreign policy."
