Digital Journal -- Blogging live with citizen journalists and commenters, DigitalJournal.com has seen thousands and thousands of people turnout to its live coverage of the first U.S. presidential debate, the U.S. vice presidential debate and the Canadian federal leaders debate.
Tonight, beginning at 9 p.m. EDT, Obama and McCain face off in their second debate. As the only official Town Hall Debate, tonight's debate is taking place at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. Scroll to the bottom of this article for live coverage.

Read below for an overview of how to get active on this live blog:
• Comment on what the candidates say, respond to other comments, and vote on polls created throughout the debate
• It's not a chatroom. You are on this live blog to mainly find out what the writer has to say. An open chat with thirty or more readers turns into poor, disjointed content very quickly.
• Your comments are published at the Writer's discretion. The Writer can view all comments sent to them but only they can publish your comments for everyone to see.
• The 'autoscroll' feature ensures you're always shown the newest content without having to refresh or scroll your screen. You can turn this on or off by using the controls at the bottom of the live blog.
• Light sound effects alert you to new content as it's being published. This can also be turned on or off as needed
