The candidates will join the 90-minute event via satellite: Clinton from Tucson, Ariz., and Obama from Minneapolis, Minn., on the Democratic side; Mike Huckabee from Alabama and Ron Paul from Texas on the Republican side. Better-polling GOP rivals McCain and Mitt Romney declined invitations to participate.
Questions will come from moderators in MTV's Times Square studio and from online and in-studio participants. The format allows candidates not only to join the event from separate locations, but also at different times.
Technically I think all of the "debates" have been just question and answer. A real debate would consist of all the candidates answering the same questions.
