Where can I watch the presidential debate online? I don't have a TV! Can I stream the debate online? Video feed preferable.

Surprisingly, Myspace is airing the debates live at MyDebates.org.

MyDebates.org is the only one that is actually streaming at this time and doesn't require a plugin. (I'm on Firefox)

FWIW, the New York Times had a flash video on their homepage. Worked great. I'll check out the future debates there.

If you want to watch the debate at cpan.org without installing the icky real player, I recommend the real alternative codec.
