What happened to that small debate with Kucinich, Edwards and Hillary promised by MSNBC?

[RangerRK]

I was just reading about this episode and remembering that we were promised smaller debates after this came out. Does anyone else remember this and have any idea if it is really going to happen?

s John Edwards Dennis' Mr. Wilson?

To many in the Dennis Kucinich’s home district near Cleveland, Ohio he is referred to Dennis “The Menace” Kucinich due in part to his constant criticism of the political machine. Following a recent forum with the NAACP, Kucinich, along with cameras and microphones, picked up a hint by fellow Democratic contender John Edwards that large forum debates should be limited in number.

His comment to the current Democratic leader Hillary Clinton that they should try to have a more serious group of debate members on stage, was interpreted by Kucinich as being an attempt to keeping him out of the programs. Clinton allegedly replied that their people should talk about limiting the size of candidates on the stage, a comment later described as being in response on to the idea of having fewer candidates at one time. By breaking down the number they could have a more meaningful exchange.

Edwards claims he meant that instead of eight people at a time, they should randomly break it down to two programs, with four candidates during each one.

1. MSNBC never promised that...

it was just Edwards trying to sit at the cool kids table...

2. To be honest, they should do a couple of these...

I have no problem with limiting some of the debates to the candidates with an actual chance of getting the nomination.
