JUST IN: Dec. 10 Democratic Debate Cancelled

[TeamJordan23]

Just saw on CNN. DNC cancelled it because of the writers strike.

1. Dang! I was going to go to this - well not go inside but rally outside

But good for the candidates for not crossing the picket line.

[1corona4u]

2. Yeah, then why are they having the

republicult one tonight? Sounds like bullshit to me.

[dsc]

3. NPR is hosting a Dem debate on the 4th (next Tuesday)

so I do think this cancellation is legit.

[sufrommich]

4. Because the republicans will be doing sprints

to see who can cross the picket line the fastest. It's worth at least ten points in the polls.

[spooky3]

5. maybe because the Dems are supportive of unions?

[Donnachaidh]

8. Republicans would walk over the bloody corpses of union members for a photo-op

They probably hired Fox News scabs for this one tonight.

[Lucinda]

9. Because the Reps don't care about the strike?

[Beaverhausen]

10. It depends on where it will be held. The debate on the 10th was to be at CBS studios

in Los Angeles, where there are strikers everyday. I don't think all debates are actually held at studios - some are at colleges or other halls.

11. Republicans? Cross a picket line? Bwahahahahaha... (not when they can drive

an Escalade through it first...)

[slackmaster]

6. I must be on a very different wavelength than a lot of people

Frankly the writers' strike hasn't affected me in any way.

7. Here's the schedule I found;

December 13, 2007: Democratic presidential debate sponsored by Des Moines Register and IPTV, Johnston, IA
December 17, 2007: CNN and Politico.com host a Democratic presidential debate at the Kennedy Library in Boston

Neither date matches.

12. Good for them. They are establishing a strong pattern now...

of not crossing picket lines.

Good.

[1corona4u]

14. Yeah, too bad it might cost them in the GE.

[bigdarryl]

13. theres to many so-called debates in December anyway four is nuts maybe two yeah
