Everyone Said the Debates Matter—After 3 Boring Debates, Do They Still Matter?

In what has been a fiercely contested and relatively tight campaign between Barack Obama and John McCain, most voters said that they would lean heavily on the candidates’ performances in the debates to make their ultimate decision.  With two underwhelming Obama-McCain matches and one Biden-Palin contest behind us, have the debates affected the voters’ bottom line?  The folks at the Quinnipiac Polling Institute had a novel idea:  conduct pre- and post-debate polls in key battleground states to see if the debates swayed any voters.  We get those results on the eve of the 3^rd and final debate.

 

Guests:

Pete Brown, assistant director of t he Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, specializing in battleground state polls

Richard Belzer: “I Am Not A Cop”

He may play the hard-boiled Detective John Munch on NBC’s Law and Order, but actor and comedian Richard Belzer is anything but…until now. In his new book, “I Am Not a Cop,” Belzer blends fact with fiction.  He cast himself as the lead, but the twists and turns of the plot are pure imagination.  The fictional Belzer finds himself trying to solve a real crime after Rudy Markovich, a nyc medical examiner, goes missing. Belzer’s real life collides with the detective he plays on t.v. in this debut mystery.

 

Guests:

Richard Belzer: Actor and Author, “I am Not a Cop”

IN STUDIO

 

Belzer will be signing copies of his new book at Borders on Westwood Boulevard (1360 Westwood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90024) at 7:00 pm tonight.
