Dawnie, these are just the DNC sanctioned debates. There's one in New Hampshire on June 3 that isn't a DNC sanctioned debate--but I'm sure it will still be great!

I see two are going to be broadcast on MSNBC. What are the chances we'll see Keith Olbermann in the moderator's chair? He's a far sight better than Brian "Gotcha" Williams and Brit Hume.

Just when ARE we going to start hearing more about the positions of the candidates?
Are these debates going to bring up important issues like fair trade, the restoration of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to our government, and campaign and election reform?
Or they going to be Republi-lite Democrat Losership Committee, same ol', same ol' crap that keeps good Democrats from winning elections?
