This final note on the way out, just to get you prepped for the debate tomorrow night.

Time magazine has just posted the 21-page — yes, 21-page — memorandum of understanding between the two campaigns and the Commission on Presidential Debates. Nothing about chilled Evian water in the waiting rooms or colored M&Ms, but it’s a pretty good read.

Specific forms of address — Mr. President and Gov. Romney, only, please. No moving from behind respective podiums. Television may tilt or rotate, but will otherwise be locked down.
