Clyburn: SC Democratic debate will be held on MLK Day
November 12, 2007
The last Democratic debate before South Carolina votes on a presidential nominee will be held Jan. 21, U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., said Sunday night in a news release.
The debate, sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and broadcast by CNN, will be held at the Palace Theater in Myrtle Beach.
"It is fitting this final South Carolina Democratic Presidential debate will take place on the day South Carolina and the nation honor Martin Luther King Jr.," Clyburn said in the release. "South Carolina's primary will be the first test of the candidates in a state where nearly half of the Democratic primary voters could be African Americans."
The debate was originally scheduled for Jan. 17, but was moved when the South Carolina Democratic Primary was locked in for Jan. 26.
