Prez campaigns asking DNC to make the decision about all the forums...so they don't have to.

I think I once heard Dean say they had to go to 27 of those forums, and if they didn't go they looked bad.

Looks like the DNC is holding meetings. This should be interesing.

"Daily News White House Correspondent Ken Bazinet reports that the big debate for the presidential campaigns is whether or not to debate:

Some Democratic campaigns, including Teams Clinton and Obama, are leaning on DNC boss Howard Dean to intervene to limit the number of debates and forums ahead of the primaries, campaign sources confirmed. The campaigns would prefer that the Democratic National Committee take a stand rather than the campaigns, so they don't appear to be trying to back out of debates -- a move that could make them look like wimps or alienate voters in key states like New Hampshire and South Carolina. Debates are already scheduled for April in both those states.

“We’re getting overwhelmed with requests for debates and forums,” a campaign aide says.

So far there have been at least two meetings on the subject, and the DNC will convene another where a decision is likely to be made.

"We're talking to the campaigns and will convene a meeting and determine the best course of action," said DNC spokeswoman Stacie Paxton, declining further comment when asked about a report that first appeared on The Politico web site."

1. What I wish

is that they would bring back the League of Women Voters to moderate the debates, instead of having them moderated by corporate media who have their own agenda.

Whatever happened to that practice anyway?
