JOSEPH FARAH, MODERATOR: I want to explain the format for tonight’s debate. The debate consists of three rounds, which I will explain as we get to each one. The candidates will have the opportunity to make brief opening and closing statements, and each candidate will also get an extra two minutes that they may use at any time. If a candidate wants to make his statement longer, use more time to answer a question, or challenge another candidate’s statement, he can use one of these two minutes.
