Life on the Big, Big, Big, Screen

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Live blogging will commence with the debates, but first a quick note about another technology candidates are using today. Barack Obama and John Edwards both sent out text messages to their SMS list in the hours before the debate.

Sent via SMS from Edwards from 5:07pm EST: "During tonight's debate @ 7pmET you can send John Edwards your questions. Repuly to this txt with your question and watch his response on JohnEdwards.com at 9:15."

Vis SMS from Obama circa 3:31 pm EST: "Watch Barack debate tonight live on CNN 7pm EDT. REPLY back with your name and your thouts during & after the debate. We will post to our blog & discuss."

UPDATE: We forgot Dennis Kucinich's text PEACE (73223) for more information. And he gets extra bonus points for using his 30-second spotlight to advertise his SMS initiative.

And now check out the debate hall:
