Fill me in - is the debate on for tonight or what?
May be a dupe, but I had this in my e-mail this morning:

A major televised debate hangs in the balance after four Democratic presidential hopefuls said Saturday they would bypass the event if newly unionized videographers at WMUR-TV do not have a contract by January.

The videographers made the request of five of the candidates at a New Hampshire AFL-CIO convention.

Four of them – Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Richard Gephardt of Missouri, who was not present but answered questions via a telephone hookup – agreed to the request. Retired Gen. Wesley Clark said he would look into the matter.

The other four of the nine Democrats running did not attend, and did not face the request.

“I have never crossed a picket line in my life, and I do not intend to start now,” Dean said.
