Democratic debate lottery to be held at NBC's 30 Rock

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A lottery to determine where candidates are placed on stage in the first Democratic presidential debate will take place Friday morning at NBC’s headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffers told representatives from the presidential campaigns of the plan to hold the lottery at NBC during a logistics call last week, according to three sources with knowledge of the call. The campaigns have been invited to send representatives to witness the drawing.

Results will be announced right after the drawing is held.

Spokespeople at the DNC and NBC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

1. THE DNC IS RIGGING THE DRAWING AGAINST BERNIE!

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

2. I suspect candidates will prefer to be in the first debate so they have the first set of eyeballs.

Of course if a candidate is on the second night and they are asked the same questions as the previous night, then it might give them an advantage when delivering prepared answers.
