Down to the Debates

USA Today says that the presidential election "that has lasted a year and more, cost a billion dollars and divided the nation into two unyielding camps is likely to be settled by this: Two or three 90-minute encounters in college auditoriums.

"The debates."

"Both men are skillful debaters, though in different ways -- Bush is straight-talking and strong, Kerry is knowledgeable and aggressive. They have perfect records: Each has prevailed against highly regarded opponents in every debate critical to his career."

Update: The Washington Post reports the campaigns have agreed to three debates, as was originally scheduled.

Update II: History Wire remembers the 16 year lapse in televised presidential debates after the historic Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960.
