Follow Our Live Blog of Tonight's Vice Presidential Debate

Joe Biden and Paul Ryan will face off tonight in the one and only vice presidential debate in Danville, Kentucky. The debate starts at 9 p.m. EST, and focuses on foreign and domestic policy.

Patch will host a live debate chat starting at 8:30 p.m. featuring local Patch editors and Granite State political observers like David Mirsky and William Smith.

Here's what to expect and how you can join in:

• You should see a headline on a story that has the words "Live Blog" in it; that will have a window at the top of the story page. In that window, you will see posts from New Hampshire Patch Editors, plus debate tweets, and more.

• The window is self-refreshing, so you don't need to reload the page to stay on top of the latest information. As soon as there is a new post, you will hear an audio notification — the sound of typing on a keyboard. You can turn these features off by clicking the speaker or circular button next to it.

• Contribute! Comment; tell us what you think of what the candidates are saying, about the questions being asked, and who you think is doing well and who is struggling. All you have to do is type in a name (real names only, please) and your comment. The live blog will also pick up all tweets using the hashtag #nhdebatewatch.
