Missouri debate is canceled
St. Louis-AP -- There'll be no debate among Democratic presidential candidates in Missouri after all.

The Missouri Democratic Party today called off Monday night's planned debate, which would have been held at the University of Missouri at St. Louis on the eve of Tuesday's presidential primaries.

Missouri Democratic Party chairwoman May Scheve says organizers couldn't get commitments from Senators John Kerry and John Edwards. She cited the demands of travel coupled with short preparation time and forecasts calling for a possible winter storm.

Missouri is one of seven states holding primaries Tuesday.

5. Wasn't this debate thrown together only after the NH
primary?

They should have planned it earlier.

15. Well, Kerry has never struck me as much of a leader
except, of course, for his well-worn war record. "John Kerry, the man who's served as a Vietnam Vet for 30 years."

16. That's weak.
They should have held the debate anyway. If Kerry or Edwards didn't want to show up, tough.
