DNC to sanction presidential debates

Hopefully YearlyKos will be home to one of the sanctioned debates:

The Democratic National Committee announced today that it will sanction six Democratic debates, one per month, starting in July 2007. Additional details regarding cities, dates, logistics, etc. wil be released at a later date.

“Debates provide an important opportunity for voters to hear directly from our outstanding Democratic candidates about their vision for America,” said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. “I'm pleased the DNC can help play a role in facilitating such an important dialogue with our candidates."

"Given our strong, dynamic and diverse field of Democratic candidates and the great enthusiasm voters already have expressed, we can expect a lively, thoughtful discussion of the issues."

The Fox Noise/CBC event, however, will not be sanctioned (which is a good thing). Some people have yet to learn from the Nevada fiasco.
