The Commission on Presidential Debates announced the moderators for the three 2008 presidential and vice presidential debates Tuesday morning.

Each of the debates, except the second presidential debate, will be divided into eight, 10 minute segments devoted to a single topic. During that time the candidates will be able to engage each other in direct exchanges.

Each of the debates will be 90 minutes long.
