Any other ways for average folks to get into that debate?

More realistically, any know of large public viewings in Nashville?

There's supposed to be a public viewing at the Ryman. Not sure if it's a first come, first serve type entry or if you have to buy tix.

Just wanted to let you know that I may have an inside ticket into the debate. My mother-in-law works for the "National Chairman for Hispanic Finance, Latin American Policy Adviser, and Co-Chairman of the National Leadership Council of Obama for America" (whoa, what a mouthful). Anyways, I'm pushing her to see if they can get me a ticket into the debate...with or without them. Be cool if it works out, especially since it's almost impossible to get access in at this point.
