President Obama gets a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of the voting public tonight in a rematch against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Pundits and viewers from both sides of the aisle agreed Romney handily won the first debate, appearing confident and presidential while Obama shrank from his attacks.
The second debate runs from 9pm to 10:30pm EDT at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. It will be hosted by Candy Crowley of CNN.
Even viewers without a television have plenty of options to watch the debate live. As it did with the first presidential debate, Univision will be streaming the vice-presidential debate live with real-time Spanish translation. More than 2.6 million people watched Univision's coverage of the first debate.
The broadcast networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) will all show the debate live on television, as will the cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC and Fox News) and CNN Español.
National Public Radio will broadcast the debate live and will stream live audio of the debate starting at 9pm.
The broadcast networks will also be streaming the debate on their websites, as will CNN and Fox News. MSNBC will be showing it through its parent site's NBCPolitics.
The Wall Street Journal is live-streaming with commentary, as is The Washington Post, with coverage beginning at 7pm.
Politico begins debate coverage at 8pm and will stream the debate live.
C-SPAN will stream it live, along with closed captioning.
The candidates' campaigns are also helping to coordinate supporters. Users can search for "watch parties," where they can find like-minded voters hosting parties in their homes or gathering in public spaces showing the debate.
Some of these events are affiliated with the campaigns, which provide materials to hand out and preparation packets for volunteers who host parties in their homes and offer their television or computer screens.
