Lastly, it means if you want to catch a good wrap-up you'll be forced to watch ABC. Unless, of course, the other networks just decide to defy ABC's ground rules in the name of "fair use"...
The event begins at 8pm EST and will be held at Philadelphia's National Constitution Center, less than a week before the Pennsylvania primary.
The last time Clinton and Obama met to debate was nearly two months ago.
