It's 20 or so days until Election Day. Tonight, at Hofstra University, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain face off one last time.  And this time, WVFC plans to do more than we've done before. Rather than analyze media coverage  or report after the fact , often sadly when the debates don't address our concerns, Women's Voices for Change is watching this last one closely.

Tonight, if you're not justly distracted by the baseball playoffs, make this page one of your markers through the evening. Patricia Yarberry Allen, Elizabeth Hemmerdinger, and some other WVFC board  members will be chiming in through the night. We'll also point to the savvy observations of our peers in the blogosphere.

Both candidates have a lot to answer for. We'll be watching the questioners just as closely.
