Two other Democrats — Ohio Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich and former Alaska senator Mike Gravel — will also participate and in the first debate in April, they staked out the left flank on the major issues, but particularly on ending U.S. involvement in Iraq immediately.

Among the leading candidates, Obama may feel the most pressure. His performance in the South Carolina debate in April had some rocky moments and by his own admission — which he wrote about in his best-selling book, “The Audacity of Hope” — he was never comfortable in his debates against Republican rival Alan Keyes during the 2004 Senate race in Illinois.

New Hampshire is, of course, a big primary state for Democrats - the first one, in fact, after the Iowa and Nevada caucuses - so the candidates are going to go all out this evening in order to try and gain favor with New Hampshire voters. Look for second tier candidates like Bill Richardson and Christopher Dodd to try and start distinguishing themselves from the frontrunners (Clinton, Obama, and Edwards) in an attempt to gain traction in the polls.
Friends,
Many of you know that I am a “survivor” of an abusive marriage. It has been almost 3 years now since I left the man who called himself my husband. One of the most cathartic, helpful, healing things I did after my departure, was to write about my experiences. I am posting this essay (and others, later) in the hopes that some women (or even a single woman) may benefit from my own experience. Abuse is far more common in “Christian” marriages than most people are willing to believe. This is only because it is so well hidden and protected by church leaders. That, of course, is an essay for another day.

I Didn’t Start the Fire

At first it was unclear to me exactly why I didn’t tell for so long. But as my world crumbled around me, a new world was being built: one of truth and love, free from abuse. With the telling came a destruction of perceived reality and the building of true reality which would only grow stronger.
Republicans will be debating in the same place Tuesday night.

Update I: ST reader steveegg will be liveblogging the debate. Good luck, steve! ST reader William Smith is at St. Anselm and is reporting for liveblogging duty as well - heh. Check his blog for frequent updates.

CNN’s Political Ticker will be monitoring the debate and posting the spin from the campaigns, debate reactions, etc.

Update II: Allah’s got video of the dustup between some of the candidates on Iraq.
