Clinton, Obama to Attend N.H. Debate

MANCHESTER (AP) – The last two Democratic holdouts on New Hampshire’s presidential debate have agreed to attend.

Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama said Tuesday they would attend the June 3 debate sponsored by WMUR-TV, the New Hampshire Union Leader and CNN.

Clinton and Obama previously said they would participate only in six debates sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee, the first of which is scheduled for July. That changed Tuesday when Clinton’s campaign, followed about an hour later by Obama’s campaign, said both senators would participate in the New Hampshire event.

Clinton and Obama already participated in an unsanctioned debate last week in South Carolina that was scheduled before the DNC got involved.

Republicans will debate in New Hampshire on June 5. All major Republican candidates have agreed to attend.
