On Thursday, October 23 at 7 p.m. ET, Wolf Blitzer, lead political anchor and anchor of The Situation Room will moderate the live, one-hour debate for the U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire between Democratic incumbent Jeanne Shaheen and GOP challenger Scott Brown. NH1 News political director and anchor Paul Steinhauser will join Blitzer in posing questions to the candidates. The debate will take place at NH1’s Concord studio.

CNN is also partnering with local affiliate WJXT-TV in Florida for the gubernatorial showdown between Charlie Crist (D) and incumbent Gov. Rick Scott (R).

During each broadcast, CNN will invite viewers to react to the candidates with an online focus group tool powered by Microsoft’s Bing Pulse. Following each debate, the online sentiment tracker will reveal independent, Democrat and Republican reaction, underlining highs and lows and which topics resonated most with viewers.
