Viva Las Vegas

For those of you who haven't been following the situation with the Nevada Democratic party's Debate, which has been for some absurd reason partly sponsored by Fox News (Faux?), there has been some change in the situation of late, but most candidates are still making decisions on whether or not to attend. Edwards has already backed out. Obama's decision is expected soon. The rest of the field seems to be in little hurry to make a decision.

But what I wonder is, if candidates are willing to pull out of the Nevada Democratic Party's version of the Debate, is it out of the realm of possibility for another Nevada based organization to set up another debate of their own, untainted by Fox? Surely a group like AFSCME or others would have assets in place or could raise them to form an alternative if there was still interest in debating in Nevada among candidates looking to expands their recognition (i.e. Obama, and Richardson plus the rest of the second tier) Just a thought....
