Along with Blanchard, those scheduled to speak at the candidates forum are former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean; defeated Rep. Martin Frost of Texas; New York businessman Leo J. Hindery Jr.; Donnie Fowler, who directed Kerry's Michigan campaign; Simon Rosenberg, founder and president of the centrist New Democrat Network; and former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb.
