Tonight’s debate between Sen. John McCain and Barack Obama will be different from the previous two in this election, the Hollywood Reporter says. The two presidential candidates will meet in a town hall-style debate to be moderated by NBC’s Tom Brokaw at Nashville’s Belmont University. In this format, Brokaw won’t be asking the questions, undecided voters in the audience will. “It’s not the high drama of the YouTube debates. I don’t think we’ll see any snowmen asking questions,” said CBS News political analyst Dotty Lynch, referring to a question posted on the video Web site from a person dressed as a snowman.
