POTUS 2008 Debate Schedule

Mark your calendars, possums...

Don't worry Mississippi. You'll be relevant soon, along with Missouri, Tennessee and New York.

The three might not be hotbeds of activity during the 2008 presidential primary contest, but they were announced today as the sites of the general election debates. That will make them must-visit places for the media throng that covers such things.

In a statement today, Paul G. Kirk Jr. and Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., the co-chairs of the presidential debate commission, said the three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate would take place as follows:
