Let's get this thing started!
Here's everything you need to know about the debate. And to keep you entertained until the broadcast begins, all links below link to whatever came up first in a Google search of that word or phrase. Some are quite amusing.

7pm Eastern
Who: Ned Lamont and some guy impersonating a Democrat
Where: Live on C-SPAN and MSNBC (also televised locally in CT)
Why: The kiss, the war, and the power of the netroots.
Sponsored by: WVIT-TV Hartford (NBC 30) and the NRSC
Length: 60 Minutes, or until Joe storms off

Questions: From viewers (selected in advance) and videotaped "Man on the Street" interviews
Answers: Held to 90 seconds
Audience: Inexplicably, no live audience
The Postgame Show: If you've never heard Jim Ward (from the Stephanie Miller Show) impersonate Joe, you're likely in for a real treat tomorrow morning.
If you really can't get enough, Lamont's team has set up a debate headquarters online.
You have 30 minutes to mix your cocktail, pop your popcorn and settle into your favorite chair.
I say the first point goes to Lamont, just for making this debate necessary.
GO! And make sure you spell Joe's name appropriately, as in the diary title.
