Feedback at 5:00- Presidential Debates

Posted: Updated:

Now that the Republican ticket is in place, the candidates have a debate schedule in place.

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced Monday that CNN's Candy Crowley will moderate one of three October debates between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Jim Lehrer of PBS and Bob Schieffer of CBS News will moderate the other two debates.

Lehrer will focus on domestic topics, and Schieffer will hone in on foreign policy.

Another female journalist, Martha Raddatz of ABC News, will moderate the debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.
