This should get some attention. I love it. Wonder how fast they will all come running. :evilgrin:

Just think about it. I mean what if AAR had a debate, what if DailyKos had one...will they get defended also and will everyone come?

Oops, DailyKos did just announce one.

"Mark your calendar for the Yearly Kos convention, Aug. 2-5. Why? You remember how much fun we all had last year, right? How much you hated missing out on it, right? But now there's even greater incentive. Why? Because it will be your best opportunity to evaluate the Democratic field of Presidential candidates, up close and personal."

""We are inviting the presidential candidates to join in a first of its kind dialogue with citizens and the netroots," said Gina Cooper, YearlyKos Convention Executive Director. "Successful candidates are learning to authentically engage citizens in an emerging, increasingly participatory society, and we want to ensure that technological progress brings about meaningful social change."

To foster a conversation that has the breadth, depth, and authenticity of a diverse voting public, this event, marking the first ever collaborative presidential forum with both a respected blogger and a leading member of the traditional media, will be moderated by Matt Bai, writer for The New York Times Magazine and author of a forthcoming book on Democratic politics, and Joan McCarter, contributing editor at Daily Kos. Dr. Jeffrey Feldman, author and blogger at Frameshopisopen.com, will ask questions submitted in advance from tens of thousands of blog readers and will facilitate questions from convention attendees.

Organizers are also asking the candidates to spend time in individual, unscripted "citizen dialogues" with convention attendees, encouraging substantive discussions that transcend the competitive nature of most joint appearances on the campaign trail. The events and conference are open to media and blog coverage."

I surely hope the candidates agree to "reach out" to the ones in this group as well as Fox.
