The long and winding road of the 2012 presidential election cycle is finally coming to an end. It was 536 days ago -- May 5, 2011 -- that Fox News hosted the first debate of this cycle, a showdown between Republican primary candidates in Greenville, South Carolina, that featured Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Herman Cain, Tim Pawlenty, and Rick Santorum (read that list again ... it's been a long, strange trip).

Tonight, debate seasons wraps up in Boca Raton, Florida, as CBS's Bob Schieffer leads President Obama and Mitt Romney through a discussion of foreign policy at Lynn University (trivia: counting the primary forums, this is Romney's 26th debate of this cycle).

Of course, Ricochet's been there every step of the way and tonight will be no exception. Join us over on the Member Feed beginning at 8:45 PM Eastern/5:45 PM Pacific, for a live chat featuring members and contributors. And remember: you must be a member to join in.

What are we gonna do, post-election, when there will be no debates, no primaries, no elections, and we'll still want to chat?

The live-stream on the internet lags far behind the chat.   I read your comments before I hear what was said. I guess there's no cure for that, but I do get a little dizzy.

I would like Romney to ask Obama this simple question: "Has Khalid Sheikh Mohammed been mistreated in US custody?"

Sister, I had CSPAN on my computer, and it seemed to be quite timely.

PJS,  Thank you. I'll try that this time.  Last debate, CSPAN was "unavailable" and I watched on ABC.

www.c-span.org/debates is the link that worked for me when just plain c-span was unavailable.

I'm donning my Morpheus outfit before I plug into the Live Chat Matrix.  My wife says "No katana," however.

I hate to be the dummy in the room, but I never  located the link for the  chat for the last debate. Please advise in excruciating detail where and when I'll be able to fine the link for tonight's debate chat. Also a restatement of how to enlarge the chat window would be helpful. Sorry to be so needy.

Troy Senik, Ed.

We'll post the link on the top of both the Main Feed and the Member Feed shortly before the coverage begins.

I know!  We'll have James, Peter, and Rob debate among themselves, and the rest of us will live-chat it.

C-SPAN live stream: http://www.c-span.org/debates/ worked well for me last time, no discernible lag.

Yeti my love, can we get statistics from you about the chat?  Like how many Ricoteers attended?
