In an effort to manage the flood of debate requests the presidential contenders receive, the Democratic National Committee announced yesterday that it would sanction six debates before the early voting contests begin in January 2008. The debates will take place once a month between July and December.
DNC officials said four of the six debates were likely to be held in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
