Debate the Debate: Watch With Patch at Busboys

The first 2012 presidential debate is Wednesday night.

Good company can make a good debate great.

With that in mind, several viewing parties have been planned for the first 2012 presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee.

The debate, on domestic policy, begins at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday. It will be broadcast live from the University of Denver.
