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, (rebecca.harper@hulu.com),

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!
