As the election continues to dominate the national consciousness — it’s just over three weeks away now — the presidential debates conclude with the third and final debate tomorrow night. Just as we did last week, Hulu is offering a live stream of the complete presidential debate (courtesy of our friends at Fox) starting at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT Wednesday. Working late hours? Tune in from your office PC. Putting in some time at the local coffee shop? Watch it live from your laptop. Too tied up to catch McCain and Obama live? We’ll post the event in its entirety, along with clips and pre- and post-debate commentary, as soon as they become available following the live feed. You can find it all — along with election-related standup and sketches — on our Election ‘08 Spotlight page.
You can also embed the live stream on your blog or website and share it with your visitors. Just copy the embed code found at hulu.com/debate.html before the debates begin and paste it to your site. The countdown will appear until the action begins.
Enjoy, (),

When we aren’t obsessing over video quality at Hulu, we’re often talking about the ins and outs of the upcoming election, discussing debates, campaign strategies, and generating more than a few debates ourselves.
We love an election, and it’s been very important to us that we fulfill our civic duty during this very important time for our country. We want to help as much as we can in providing the information you need, when you want it, where you want it.
That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of our Election ‘08 Spotlight page. With content from our news partners, NBC News, MSNBC and Fox News, we’ll be adding all the content we can surrounding the election, for the first time in one place on Hulu, so you can have a bookmark that can provide you with the news you need to make your decision come November 4th.
When you’re as nuts about quality as we are, it can lead to some long hours, and getting home in time to catch some of the really important events can be tough. In that vein, I’m even more excited to announce that for the first time in Hulu history, we’ll be live streaming the second and third presidential debates, so you’ll be able to catch one of the more important events of this election cycle. Check them out on our Election ‘08 Spotlight page. Hope to see you there!

Khalid Ghafir is fooled in thinking that it could never happen.What ming Li says is so close to the truth of what happens when we let our guard down as a people and a country.Neither candidate speaks for me, but I do know that as a middle class stay at home mom on a limited income I don’t need Obama to take care of me by handing over to me someone else’s hard earned money and then call it being fair.
Give me a break!! This MING LI is what passes for Republican intelligence and propoganda. The only Americans dumb enough to believe that Ming Li crap are the dumb-ass ones already voting republican….so give it up stupid! John Mcain is FULL OF CRAP!!!! He and that excuse for a government official Sarah Palin are bold face liars & biggots. They and any so called Americans who votefor them should be ashamed. Ashamed for being dumb and ignorant. You people make me sick. You have no idea what a beautiful country you are screwing up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ming Li, about 1949 China, it’s IMPOSSIBLE that anything like that could CONCEIVABLY happen in the U.S. at this time. There are still things like Congress and, in general, Democracy that has not existed in China. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE, even if they wanted to, that any U.S. President could implement anything like what you are talking about.
And, yes, socialist policies exist in both candidates’ proposed policies. After all, in the U.S., GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN SOCIALIST SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED, in that people pay for programs used by other people. Hence, the government itself. The idea that Republicans want less government, or that Democrats are like 1949 China, is not rational or logical in any way.

McCain is the real communist here and even worse a dictator…Now you can be sure of his motives and what a selfish bourgeoisie a this guy really is…He has no regard for intellectual property such a copyrights…so if he can rip musical artists off because he thinks he’s a VIP with 7 home and 13 cars, what do you think he’ll do the the common man or common merchant.

Obama’s policy of wealth redistribution is absolutely a socialist policy.
When Chinese communist army took over China in 1949 the first things they
did were confiscated the lands, factories, business and companies from the
private owners in the name of wealth redistribution. Therefore, everyone
is equal with nothing. Russians and Chinese people lived in worst society
in human history. Now, they are learning capitalist from United States
and West. Their county is no longer socialist society but capitalist.
Communist Russia and China used force to take wealth from wealth people and
Obama is trying to use a “peaceful” way—Tax to reach this goal. His goal
is not to lead all Americans to get wealth by hard working but tax wealth
people to poor, and make everyone is equal poor. It is the society he wants
Americans to live in. How foolish are those Americans who believe his policy.
Obama is digging grave for United States!
Will the live stream carry a Fox bug in the corner?
