"Other comitments"

I think they said he had another Iowa event to attend tonight.

Not such a great move, imo. This is the only debate/forum aimed at the youth vote, so why would anyone want to pass this one up?

5. conventional answer:

Because "youth don't vote." Yes, it's bullshit, and with the youth outreach programs of Dean (and I am sure others) this voting block is about to surprise commentators; but that's Gep's conventional wisdom.

6. I'll probably skip it
I'm a little burnt out on debates, plus I'm not all that interested in what will probably be a lot of questions specific to that age group that the young'ns will ask.

There is another debate later this month anyway.

7. Question about the debate
I had understood there was one tonight sponsored by MTV, however, I went to their website and looked at today's programming schedule and couldn't find it listed.

Do we know who is broadcasting the debate and what time it starts? Thanks.
