There's a big (high stakes) duke-out happening tonight, concerning the 2012 US presidential election, or so we've heard from who else? Our beloved Standard-Examiner, that's who:
For those who might be caught up in a work cubicle tonight, or hopelessly stranded up on an Ogden East Bench cliff with only an Android or iPhone device to feed your insatiable political appetites, here's a link to a streaming feed of tonight's debate, which kicks off promptly at 7 p.m., Mountain Time:
(You can tune in now for pre-debate coverage, btw.) And just so's we can give ya'll a little something to chew on, prior to tonight's debate, here are some links to a few debate-topical  articles and stories which we've gathered up over the past few days:
    And for those of you wondering why we put up a debate link to the relatively staid C-SPAN website, amidst the plethora of other "pundit-abundant" sites which will be live-streaming tonight's debate, here's why, if you get our meaning (which we think you do):

    Fact Check: Looking at some of the assertions in presidential debate

     We should have seen this coming.

    With Mitt Romney under water in swing
    states and Democrats surging up and down the ballot, Romney took the
    stage last night and started running away from his own record. He
    walked back all of his most controversial right-wing positions and twisted the
    truth on both his plans and President Obama's record.

    We can't let
    Republicans win the election with lies and spin.
