On Wednesday, starting at 9:00 p.m. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will face off for the first time. Reason's crack team of Twitterers will be there to help you though the ordeal, with our usual live Twitter feed, right here at Hit&Run.

And stay with us afterward: Kicking off about 15 minutes after the debate ends (at about 10:45 p.m.), Reason will be hosting a Google+ Hangout where we'll be joined by folks from Roll Call, Christian Science Monitor, Political Wire, and Think Progress to talk about the carnage we have just witnessed.

You can check out the Hangout right here at Reason.com or over at our official Google+ page. We'll also be streaming at our YouTube page.

And hey! If you want to know about these kinds of special events, why not subscribe to our YouTube channel or follow us at Google+? It's what all the cool kids are doing.

Start your day with Reason. Get a daily brief of the most important stories and trends every weekday morning when you subscribe to Reason Roundup.

    Yeah, there really isn't enough liquor in Southern California that can make that clusterfuck watchable for me. I mean it's a challenge just watching those two talk separately in soundbites on the news.

  2. sarcasmic   13 years ago

    Puff, puff, pass. Emphasis on pass.

  3. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    LIVE BLOG!

  4. BoscoH   13 years ago

    If Gary Johnson isn't allowed to participate, any chance you can get him to live tweet with you?

  5. DanD   13 years ago

    Reason will be hosting a Google+ Hangout where we'll be joined by folks from Roll Call, Christian Science Monitor, Political Wire, and Think Progress to talk about the carnage we have just witnessed

    Ummm, the carnage you get from having people like Sugarfree, Warty, Epi, et al tearing the Obama Cultists from Think Progress a new one will be far more devastating than the two clones debating each other.

    1. Fluffy   13 years ago

      I might watch the Google+ Hangout if it's Ekins and Steigerwald and not the Jacket.

    2. Warty   13 years ago

      It's nice to see that I'm still able to coast on my reputation.

      1. sarcasmic   13 years ago

        Your STDs precede you.

      2. John   13 years ago

        You are getting soft.

        1. Lord Humungus   13 years ago

          needs more fluffer

  6. Joe M   13 years ago

    Ugh, no way I'm watching that slop.

  7. Jerry on the road   13 years ago

    Will you livestream the Google+ Hangout via YouTube as well?

    1. Katherine Mangu-Ward   13 years ago

      We will! Just updated the post.

  8. The Late P Brooks   13 years ago

    Get busy on the drinking game rules.

    I'd say "fair share" should be a drink, but that would qualify as murder in the first degree.

    1. Ayn Random Variation   13 years ago

      "tax cuts for the rich"

    2. Ayn Random Variation   13 years ago

      "end medicare as we know it"

      this one is good because both may say it.

    3. sarcasmic   13 years ago

      "millionaires and billionaires"

  9. TigTang   13 years ago

    Those guys seem to know what the deal is. Wow.

  10. Ayn Random Variation   13 years ago

    "Make no mistake"

  11. R C Dean   13 years ago

    Reason's crack team of Twitterers

    Pretty sure that's not the right collective noun. Should it be Tweeters? or Twits?

  12. The Late P Brooks   13 years ago

    "Twitterati"

  13. The Late P Brooks   13 years ago

    Any mention of Citizens United or "buying elections" = DRINK!

  14. The Late P Brooks   13 years ago

    "Saving jobs for dedicated teechurz" or "firefighters' or "police"
    = DRINK!

  15. The Late P Brooks   13 years ago

    WTF is a Google+hangout?

    Wait- don't tell me, I don't think I want to know.

    Just KEEP IT OFF MY LAWN!
