Hillary's In It ...

Hillary Clinton has confirmed she'll attend the NV Dem candidate forum 2/21 in Carson City, sources say. Six other '08 Dems (Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Mike Gravel, Tom Vilsack, Wes Clark and Chris Dodd) have already agreed to attend the AFSCME-sponsored event. No word from John Edwards and Barack Obama yet. (An Obama spokesman said they're still working out its schedule for that week).

Last week, reps from the Clinton, Obama and Edwards camps urged the DNC to cut down on the number of debates. There are currently more than a dozen scheduled to date, and most camps have received invites to more than 20 other forums. [JOHN MERCURIO]

The more public forums and debates, the better! Let's hear them articulate their vision, their positions, and the programs they intend to implement to carry them out! Smoke these politicians out. No more hiding Obama!

I like the debates, but understand that they could be frustrated with so many.

Independents for Obama

Only the so-called "mainsteam candidates" will get any 'serious' attention since they are the only ones with 'serious big names, money and fame' right? Time will tell and it's far, far too early right now to tell. I think the people have a say so, or did I sleep in the Civics 101 class?
