MSNBC Adds Dem Debate A Day Before CNN’s

Sources tell TVNewser NBC News and NBC’s Cleveland affiliate WKYC are sponsoring a Democratic debate that will air on MSNBC February 26, six days before the Ohio primary. Sources say the Clinton and Obama campaigns have accepted the NBC offer and the debate will be held at Cleveland State University.

CNN has already planned back-to-back Democratic and Republican debates beginning the next night, February 27.

>Update: CNN may not have a Democratic debate in Ohio after all. Reuters reports Sen. Obama has only agreed to two debates before March 4: Ohio on Feb. 26 (MSNBC) and another in Texas (Date/Network TBD).
