First 2008 Presidential Debate/Forum is Today!
This afternoon, candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination will gather for the first candidates' forum in Carson City, Nevada.
The forum will focus on issues that affect working families and is sponsored by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSME).
It's not a debate. The candidates apparently won't be on stage at the same time. Rather each candidate will take questions from audience members, a Nevada Democratic Party official, and a reporter.
Consider this an Live Open Thread on the forum.
The Forum will stream live on:

C-SPAN
ABC News Now
The streaming begins at 12:00 noon Mountain Time (3:00 EST).
The Forum will be broadcast on C-SPAN.
I don't know about the other candidates, but John Edwards is scheduled to speak at approximately 3:45 pm EST.
The candidates that will appear at the Democratic Presidential Forum in Carson City include:
Joe Biden
Hillary Clinton
Chris Dodd
John Edwards
Mike Gravel
Dennis Kucinich
Bill Richardson
Tom Vilsack
Obama has decided not to "join the discussion."
I'll be watching/listening to as many as I can, though we're having a thaw in Michigan and I've got to shovel the drive-way.
No voting unless you've seen at least two of the Q&As.
