But I like how the reporter, Michael Learmonth, refers to MSNBC's commissioning for the debate a "coup"--yes, it is, and the Left wing of the Democrat Party backed said coup.
"They said it would be the first debate of the 2008 campaign. Now the candidates have made it so by committing to MSNBC's Democratic debate in South Carolina this week and Republican debate in California next week.
It's a major coup for the third-ranked cable news net, which appears to have won the sweepstakes for the first made-for-TV events of the 2008 election cycle."
