“debate on a Friday?”
Au contrare, mon frere. This is the only debate scheduled for Friday. The next one is on a Thursday, and the next one is either Tuesday or Wednesday. They are all one week after the other, so to reschedule this Fridays for next week would HAVE to happen either Monday or Tuesday, as the next scheduled event is THURSDAY.
Thursday is close enough to Friday that it might as well be Friday. You know it will still generate immense discussion on the Sunday shows, what with being so close to Sunday and all.
