Today is the day! The Democratic presidential candidates get together at the University of Miami in a debate that will be broadcast in Spanish by Univision.
Although the questions will be translated to English and the candidates will answer also in English, it is expected that millions of Spanish-speaking viewers around the country will have a unique opportunity to see the candidates address issues of great importance to the Latino community.
And we plan to follow the debate very closely.
In fact, we (Los Blogueros) plan to open a Skypecast room and a chatroom during the debate in the hope that you will join us there to have an open conversation about the candidates and how they propose to address the issues that affect the Latino community.
There will also be a live audio stream of our Skypecast in case you do not use Skype (although I encourage you to download it at www.skype.com – it is free, easy to use and a very powerful tool for communicating with people around the world).
In any event, you can always use the chatroom if you do not have Skype.
So here it is:
Today Sunday Sept 9, 2007, at 7PM EST.
We will speak Spanish or English or Spanglish…..in fact, we will speak the three languages.
You can watch the debate online in Univision.
Join us in this Skypecast.
This is where we will Chat (no registration needed, just chat on).
And you can also listen to the Live Audio streaming of the Skypecast
We hope you can make it.
See you there!
